John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)

No apologies have been received. The first item on the agenda is the Social Welfare and Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System (Amendment) Bill 2025. I welcome the Minister, Deputy Calleary, and his officials. It is important to note that, in order to participate in a division of the committee, members must be physically present. In other words, they cannot vote from a remote location.

I invite the Minister, if he so wishes, to make his opening remarks.
