The purpose of this morning's meeting is to hear from the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport on the recent EU Council of Transport Ministers meeting which took place on 11 June in Luxembourg at which I understand the air passenger rights technical requirements for inland waterway vessels and market open proposals under the fourth railway package were among the matters discussed. On behalf of the committee, I welcome the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Pascal Donohoe. He is on a tight schedule so we will get straight down to business as he knows the housekeeping rules.
