Albert Dolan (Galway East, Fianna Fail)

Are there any other nominations? No.

As there is only one nomination, is the question "That Deputy Albert Dolan be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach of the Joint Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen." agreed? Agreed. I declare myself elected as Leas-Chathaoirleach. I congratulate the newly-elected Leas-Chathaoirleach on the position and I look forward to working with everyone on the committee and with our Cathaoirleach, who unfortunately could not be here.

That question is agreed. As part of procedure I want to make sure I have it right. It is right. Perfect. I thank members for the meeting. I now go to the last item. As we have proceeded through all the other items in private session, the meeting stands adjourned.
