I remind members, witnesses and those in the Visitors Gallery that all mobile telephones should be switched off for the duration of this meeting because they interfere with the broadcasting of proceedings and cause unnecessary disturbance to staff members' headsets.

Apologies have been received from Deputies Ciara Conway, Peter Fitzpatrick, Mary Mitchell O'Connor, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin and Senator Imelda Henry.
