Pádraig Rice (Cork South-Central, Social Democrats)

As agreed at the previous meeting, we took nominations. I will explain the set formula for going through the election of a Leas-Chathaoirleach. We run it on the basis of the person first nominated and then carry out a vote. Two nominations for the position were received. In order, they were for Deputies Martin Daly and Colm Burke. We will now consider the nominations in the order in which they were received. Is it agreed that Deputy Martin Daly be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach of the Joint Committee on Health? Not agreed.
