No apologies have been received. Members now have the opportunity to be physically present in the committee room or they may join by Microsoft Teams, with the proviso that for meetings in public session, they must be in their Leinster House offices. Members may not participate in the meeting from outside the parliamentary precincts. If joining via Microsoft Teams, please mute microphones when not making a contribution and please use the raise hand function to indicate. Please note that messages sent to the meeting chat are visible to all participants online. Speaking slots will be prioritised for members of the committee.

Members and all attendees are asked to exercise personal responsibility in protecting themselves and others from the risk of contracting Covid-19. They are strongly advised to practise good hand hygiene. They will notice that seats have been removed from use in order to facilitate social distancing. I urge them not to move any chair from its current position and maintain appropriate levels of social distance during and after the meeting. Masks, preferably of a medical grade, should be worn at all times during the meeting, except when speaking. I ask for attendees' co-operation on this.
