Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We will commence in public session. I thank Senator Pádraig Ó Céidigh for his attendance here this morning to facilitate the commencement of our business today.

I remind members to please switch off their mobile phones as they interfere with the recording equipment. I advise that apologies have been received from Senators Martin Conway and Frances Black, and from Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick.
