Chairman:

No apologies have been received. This meeting is for the consideration of Revised Estimates for public services 2021 in respect of Vote 31 - Department of Transport and programme A of Vote 29 - Department of Environment, Climate and Communications. The Minister of State, Deputy Naughton, has conveyed her apologies as she is running late due to a Cabinet meeting starting later than expected. Accordingly, I propose we suspend the meeting until the Minister is available. She has indicated this will be sometime after 4.30 p.m. With the members' indulgence, I propose we suspend the meeting until 4.45 p.m. Are members agreeable to that?
