The committee will now consider Committee Stage of the Blasphemy (Abolition of Offences and Related Matters) Bill 2019. We are again joined by the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Flanagan, and his officials. They are all very welcome. Before inviting the Minister to make his opening remarks, on behalf of myself and the committee I thank Deputy O'Callaghan for chairing the committee's consideration of the Supplementary Estimates.

I call the Minister.
