I propose Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan for the position of Vice Chairman. She is eminently qualified in the area of foreign affairs and will make an excellent Vice Chairman.

On a point of order, I have nothing against Deputy O'Sullivan but I thought there was an agreement on sharing out the positions of Chairman and Vice Chairman.

Chairman:
I congratulate Deputy O'Sullivan. I have worked with her on this committee for the past four and a half years. She has been an exemplary member in respect of her attendance, contributions and her wide range of interests with regard to the work pertaining to the committee. I have no doubt she will enhance the role.
