Apologies have been received from Deputies O'Dowd and Coppinger for whom Deputies O'Connell and Barry, respectively, will substitute. The meeting has been convened for the purpose of consideration by the select committee of the Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Water in Public Ownership) (No. 2) Bill 2016, a Private Members' Bill sponsored by Deputy Joan Collins and other Deputies. The Bill was referred to the select committee by order of the Dáil on 9 November 2016.
Before we begin our consideration of the Bill, I propose that we deal with some housekeeping matters. To ensure the smooth running of the meeting, any Deputy acting in substitution for a member of the committee should formally notify the clerk now if he or she has not already done so.
I propose that if needed, after approximately two hours of consideration - at approximately 4.45 p.m. - we take a break for 15 minutes. Is that agreed?
