It would be awful to break up the meeting on two or three occasions. If there are three or four, one from the Government side can notify the Whip that we are going to be here. I am conscious of the fact that other members, who may be voting in another direction, may also be here. I think we can send messages in respect of an informal arrangement. It would be dreadful if we had to break up the meeting on several occasions. We will try to work with that. As chairperson, I will remain here in any event.

At this stage, I call Mr. Niall Kelly to make his opening comments.
