Apologies have been received from Deputy Kathleen Funchion. I understand Deputy Catherine Martin will have to leave early.

The meeting has been convened to resume our consideration of Committee Stage of the Technological Universities Bill 2015. I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills, Deputy Mary Mitchell O'Connor, and her officials. We will resume our consideration of the Bill on section 42. We cannot discuss sections or amendments that have been disposed of. Where an amendment is part of a group of amendments that were discussed at the previous meeting, no further discussion can take place on the amendments in that group and the sponsor will be asked to move the amendment only, on which I will then put the question. Amendment No. 115 was discussed with amendment No. 66.
