Before introducing the officials I wish to advise that the Business Committee has yet to determine whether we can meet on Thursday morning. Invitations have been extended, but at a very late hour, to the World Health Organization, WHO, and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, ECDC. There is also the issue of whether it is technologically possible to conduct a meeting by video link. I hope it would be but we are in the hands of the Houses of the Oireachtas Service in that regard. I am sorry to inconvenience members but we hope to still have a meeting on Thursday morning and we will know by lunchtime tomorrow.
