Today's meeting has been convened to consider the Supplementary Estimate for Vote 29 as it relates to programmes A and B. I welcome the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and his officials.

I will read the note on privilege. I remind members 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 by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I remind members they are only allowed to participate in the meeting if they are physically located in the Leinster House complex. In this regard, I ask members to confirm they are on the grounds of Leinster House prior to making a contribution to the meeting.
