I thank Senator Higgins and I appreciate that. I do not have any difficulty with that. I would like to have as much unity as is humanly possible for the purposes of dealing with the challenges ahead. I do not want to divide the committee in its first meeting. If it is agreeable to members that we have a Vice Chairman from the Seanad and a Vice Chairman from the Dáil, then I have no difficulty with that. I am in the committee's hands. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I congratulate Senator Erin McGreehan on being elected as Vice Chairman from the Seanad and Deputy Pauline Tully on being elected as Vice Chairman from the Dáil.
