This meeting has been convened to consider Committee Stage of the Assisted Decision-Making Capacity Bill 2013. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, and her officials. Due to other commitments, the Minister of State must leave at 1.30 p.m., so we will adjourn at that time and resume, if necessary, at 9.30 a.m. on Wednesday, 1 July. I propose we suspend for 15 minutes at 11.20 p.m. I remind members and those in the Visitors Gallery, who are very welcome, to turn off their mobile telephones or set them at airplane mode.

I draw the attention of members to typographical errors in two amendments on the list of amendments. In amendment No. 14 the first definition proposed to be inserted should read "designated healthcare representative" as the word "representative" has been misspelt. In amendment No. 52 in the proposed text to be inserted the word "integrity" has been also be misspelt.
