We will now deal with the first item on the agenda, which is consideration of the Revised Estimates for 2016 from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Vote 13 - Office of Public Works. The Dáil ordered on 16 June that the Revised Estimates be referred to this committee for consideration. I welcome the Minister of State to the meeting and invite him to make his opening statement.
