As we have a quorum, the committee is in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Joan Collins. I welcome the witnesses to this meeting of the Joint Committee on Social Protection. I remind members to ensure that their mobile phones are switched off. I propose to go into private session to deal with a number of housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.
