Michael Murphy (Tipperary South, Fine Gael)

I ask members to please note that the election for the position of Leas-Chathaoirleach may be carried out in private. Are members happy to continue in public session? That is agreed.

One nomination for the position of Leas-Chathaoirleach was received before the deadline. It is for Deputy Shane Moynihan. As there is only one nomination, I will now put the question. Is it agreed that Deputy Shane Moynihan be elected as Leas-Chathaoirleach of the joint committee? Agreed. I declare Deputy Shane Moynihan elected as Leas-Chathaoirleach. I congratulate him and look forward to working with him. I give him the floor to say a few words.
