We are now in public session. I welcome the Minister for Finance and his officials to the meeting. We are dealing with the double taxation agreement and protocol with the Netherlands and a protocol to the Ireland-Switzerland double taxation convention. I understand that we will also deal with some matters relating to credit unions. We will proceed to the Minister's opening statement.
