Chairman:

Apologies have been received from Senator Devine. I confirm that a meeting with Bord na Móna and EirGrid will take place at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, 13 November.

I welcome members and viewers who may be watching our proceedings on Oireachtas TV to the fifth public meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Climate Action. Before we begin the meeting, I ask members to turn off their mobile phones or switch them to flight mode as they interfere with the broadcasting service.
