As we have a quorum, the committee is in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Bailey and Senators Butler and Higgins. I welcome the witnesses to this meeting of the Joint Committee on Social Protection. I remind members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off or put into flight mode. I propose to go into private session to deal with several housekeeping matters. Is that agreed? Agreed.

The joint committee went into private session at 10.05 a.m. and resumed in public session at 10.15 a.m.
