Before we begin, I remind members and witnesses to switch off their mobile phones. On behalf of the joint committee, I offer our sympathy and condolences to the Vice Chairman, Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe, whose mother, Anna Theresa, passed away at the weekend and is being buried today. May she rest in peace.

On behalf of Fianna Fáil, I would like to be associated with the Chairman's remarks and to pass on our sympathy to Deputy O'Keeffe on the death of his mother, Anna, who was also the wife of former Deputy Ned O'Keeffe. This is a sad occasion for the family. I am sure they will appreciate our comments.
