I ask everyone to ensure that their mobile phones are turned off. I welcome the Minister of State and his officials. I ask members to take note of the issue on privilege.

Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the Houses or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.

Session 1 is Supplementary Estimates for the Department of the Taoiseach and specifically Vote 5 - Director of Public Prosecutions. The format is the Minister of State will give an overview of the Supplementary Estimate and members will then be able to ask questions on issues that arise. I welcome the Minister of State and ask him to make his opening statement.
