Before I commence, I remind members that if they have mobile phones, they should turn them off.

The Minister and her colleagues are very welcome. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the following proposal:

That Dáil Éireann approves the terms of the Convention on social security between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, done at Dublin on 1st February, 2019, a copy of which was laid before Dáil Éireann on 7th February, 2019.

The proposal was referred by the Dáil to the select committee on 12 February with a requirement to send a message to the Dáil in the manner prescribed in Standing Order 90 no later than 5 March. We had the Minister in attendance yesterday so we have a good understanding of what is in this convention but we will start with her opening statement.
