Apologies have been received from Deputy Eric Byrne. As the committee is aware, we will deal with a particular issue today. There are a number of items of correspondence but we will deal with them after the main meeting.
I remind members, witnesses and guests to ensure their mobile telephones are switched off. It is important because it can cause problems with the broadcasting equipment. I also welcome viewers to our proceedings today which are currently available on UPC and Sky channels.
