I thank the Senator. I do not know what is causing interference but it seems to come from his side of the room.

Deputies Aylward, Fitzmaurice, Connaughton and Naughten are not members of the committee but they wish to comment. I wish to inform everyone that we must conclude this session at 4 p.m. and vacate the room at 5 p.m. I wish to be fair to the two groups scheduled to attend for the next session and to give officials time to prepare. Therefore, I ask the Deputies to limit their contributions to three minutes which will bring us to 4.35 p.m. and thus allow 25 minutes to discuss the next topic.

The first Deputy to indicate was Deputy Aylward. I call him to commence and welcome him back to the committee.
