If members or witnesses participating remotely experience any sound or technical issues, they might let us know through the chat function.

I remind members who are participating remotely to keep their devices on mute until invited to speak. When speaking, I ask members, where possible, to have their cameras switched on and to be mindful that we are in public session.

I also remind members of the constitutional requirement that they must be physically present within the confines of the place that Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House or the convention centre, in order to participate in public meetings. I will not permit a member to participate where he or she is not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, any member who attempts to participate from outside the precincts will be refused.
