I have two questions for the witnesses but before posing them, I want to get the agreement of the committee regarding something that has come up in the Chamber. We are scheduled to begin our afternoon session at 2.30 p.m but I am proposing that we move that to 3.45 p.m. It is a late start and I know it is inconvenient for members but Government business has collapsed in the Chamber. The Government wants to bring forward a Private Member's Bill, with the agreement of its proposer, who is Deputy Alan Kelly. Obviously, Deputy Kelly is here, attending this meeting. He is entitled to hold his time slot but that will mean that the Dáil will have to suspend for several hours and deal with his Bill later on.
