I welcome the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Phil Hogan, and officials from his Department, Mr. Owen Ryan, principal officer; Mr. Paul McDonald, principal officer; Ms Emer Connolly, principal officer; Mr. Dominic O'Brien, assistant principal officer; and Mr. Alex Hurley, administration officer. The Minister is well used to giving evidence so I am sure he knows what I am going to say by heart but I remind members of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.
