Is féidir linn an cruinniu a thosnú. Táimid i seisiún poiblí anois. Níl aon leithscéalta faighte agam. Comharlaím do na baill go léir na gutháin póca a mhúchadh, ionas nach gcuireann siad isteach ar an gcóras fuaime agus ar craolachán na cruinnithe. I ask members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off le do thoil.

Táimid ag díriú isteach ar Vóta 33 - Cultúr, Oidhreacht agus Gaeltacht, Meastachán Athbhreithnithe, providing for gross voted expenditure of €303 million, with €54 million in capital expenditure and current expenditure of €248 million.

Inniu táimid chun é sin a phlé leis an t-Aire Cultúr, Oidhreacht agus Gaeltachta, an Teachta Madigan, maidir le Vóta 33. Fanaimid go dtiocfaidh na haíonna so cuirfimid ar fionraí é le haghaidh cúpla nóiméid. We will suspend briefly to allow our guests take their seats.
