With the agreement of members I will take the Chair temporarily in place of our Chairman. Is that agreed? Agreed. I remind members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off. This is important as it causes serious problems for broadcasting, editorial and sound staff.
We will continue our consideration of the Finance Bill 2019. I welcome the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and his officials to the meeting. Our timetable will include breaks from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. These are marked on the draft timetables. Is that agreed? Agreed. We will resume our discussion on amendment No. 70, in the name of Deputy Doherty. This is a new section.
