I welcome the Minister and her officials to this meeting for our consideration of the Social Welfare (No. 2) Bill 2019, which was referred to the select committee by the Dáil on 13 November.

To provide for the smooth running of the meeting, it is proposed that any Member acting in substitution for a member of the committee should formally notify the clerk to the committee now, if he or she has not done so. Divisions on the Bill will be taken as they arise. Members attending this meeting in accordance with Standing Order 95(3) should be aware that, pursuant to that Standing Order, he or she may move his or her amendment but may not participate in voting on the amendment.
