Keira Keogh (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is proposed to publish the opening statement to the Oireachtas website. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Before I call members, I remind them they will be allocated seven minutes' speaking time. Unfortunately, the timer still is not working, but we will do our best. This allocation must include the response to questions. If time permits at the end, I will allow a brief second round of questioning. However, members should indicate to me if they wish to ask additional questions. I also ask members, when putting their questions, to ensure they strictly adhere to the agenda topic under consideration at this meeting. I will now call the members in accordance with the speaking rota circulated, and I ask members participating via MS Teams to confirm they are on the Leinster House campus before putting their questions. We will start with Senator Keogan.
