This meeting has been convened for the purpose of consideration by this committee of the Intellectual Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014 which was referred to the select committee by order of Dáil Éireann on 23 October 2014.

I welcome the Minister of State with responsibility for skills, enterprise and innovation at the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Damien English, and his officials here this morning.

I ask members and officials to switch their mobile telephones to flight mode. It is not enough to put them on silent as they will continue to interfere with the broadcast.

It is intended to consider the Bill until we conclude Committee Stage today. Is that agreed? Agreed.
