Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour)

I wish the best to the Chair. We will be together for a few months or a year or two. I am looking forward to working with all my colleagues.

What format is the Chair going to adopt for our work programme? There will be legislative requirements to go through. This is probably one of the most central committees when it comes to legislation. It has probably the highest volume of legislation of any committee. The Cathaoirleach referenced issues in respect of various topics. I agree with him on issues relating to An Garda Síochána. It would be imperative for us to call the Garda Commissioner and his team in before the committee before he leaves the role.
