Apologies have been received from Deputies Pat Buckley, Martin Heydon, Dara Murphy, Sean Sherlock, Brendan Ryan and Eugene Murphy and Senator Jerry Buttimer. I advise members to turn off their mobile telephones or switch them to flight mode, as they interfere with the sound system and interfere with the broadcasting of the meeting. In accordance with standard procedures agreed by the Committee on Procedure for paperless committees, all documentation for the meeting has been circulated to members on the document database.

I propose that we go into private session to deal with some matters before returning to public session. Is that agreed? Agreed.
