Deputies Buckley and Quinlivan are substituting for Deputies Gould and Ó Broin. They are both welcome. This meeting has been convened to consider Committee Stage of the Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023. I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, and his officials to our meeting. We will now proceed with consideration of the Bill.

Before we move to section 1, I will read a note relating to amendment No. 36, which contains a slight typographical error after the word "referendum". It should read 'referendum,"'. We will note this, should the amendment be accepted when reached.
