An Leas-Cheann Comhairle:

Everyone is very welcome. I advise members of the constitutional requirement that members must be physically present within the confines of the Leinster House complex to participate in public meetings. I will not permit a member to participate where they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, a member who attempts to participate from outside the precincts will be asked to leave the meeting. In this regard, I ask that members partaking via MS Teams, prior to making their contribution to the meeting, confirm they are on the grounds of the Leinster House campus.

Members are also reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not criticise or make charges against any person or entity by name or in such a way as to make him, her or it identifiable or otherwise engage in speech that might be regarded as damaging to the good name of the person or entity. Therefore, if members' statements are potentially defamatory in relation to an identifiable person or entity, I will direct them to discontinue their remarks. It is imperative that members comply with any such direction.

Today, the committee will receive a presentation from sisters Ciara, Saoirse and Laoise Murphy on their project regarding a smartphone app to support emergency healthcare responses. I welcome Ciara, Saoirse and Laoise. They have a busy week as they will be flying to Tokyo on Sunday. I welcome them and everyone else present, including their parents. We also have with us David Willis, Pat O'Callaghan and Eileen O'Callaghan, who have also been involved in giving assistance in the project. I welcome them too. I invite Ciara to give her presentation.
