Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Business of Joint Committee

11:00 am

Chairman:

The date of the next meeting is 15 September. Neither the Dáil nor Seanad Éireann will be back in session by then, as members know, but I hope the date will enable us to have a full attendance.

I definitely cannot attend on that date. I do not know whether other members can.

Chairman:

Is it agreeable that Noel Murphy, the clerk to the committee, will speak to members? We do not want to convene a meeting and then have a poor attendance at it.

I suggest 8 or 15 September, whichever suits more.

Chairman:

There does not appear to be agreement on that date. The next available date is 29 September.
