Anois, pléifimid na Rialacháin um Pleanála agus Forbartha (Leasú) 2013 leis an Aire Stáit agus a hoifigigh. Is that agreed? Agreed. Cuirim fáilte roimh an Aire Stáit, i mbun tithíochta agus pleanála sa Roinn Comhshaoil, Pobail agus Rialtais Áitiúil, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, agus a hoifigigh anseo inniu, Mr. Ivan Grimes, principal officer, water services policy Ms Marian O'Driscoll, assistant principal officer, planning, Ms Aileen Doyle, senior planning adviser, and Mr. Philip Nugent, principal officer, planning.

Gabhaim buíochas leo as bheith i láthair. The Minister is fully aware of the provisions of section 17(2)(l) of the Defamation Act of 2009 regarding privilege so I will not go into any great detail. We did it most recently a few weeks ago. The opening statement and any other documentation may be published on the committee website after the meeting. Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the Houses or an official in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.
