Apologies have been received from Deputies Tom Fleming who has nominated Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett as his substitute, Deputy Timmy Dooley who has nominated Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív as his substitute and Deputy Patrick O'Donovan who has nominated Deputy Bernard Durkan as his substitute for the consideration of this Bill. Are the substitutions agreed? Agreed.

This meeting has been convened to resume consideration of the Harbours Bill 2015. I hope that we can make more progress today than we did last week. I ask members to confine their contributions to the amendments being discussed. However, I have taken on board the comments made last week. The Minister has a commitment and is required to leave here by 4 p.m. Is that correct?
