Apologies have been received from Deputy Ellis and Senators O'Loughlin and Wall. Senator Flynn is not on the Leinster House campus.

In accordance with the current guidelines, all documentation has been circulated to members via the Microsoft Teams platform. This session will be a joint meeting of the Joint Committee on Disability Matters and the Joint Committee on Autism. We are joined by Senator Carrigy, Chairman of the Joint Committee on Autism, and members of his committee. I call on him to make his opening remarks.
