Although committee rooms will soon, thankfully, return to normal capacity, committees are encouraged to take a gradual approach to this change. Members and witnesses have the option to attend meetings in the relevant committee rooms or online through MS Teams. Many are choosing to use MS Teams. All of us who are attending in committee room environments should continue to wear masks, to sanitise and wash hands, to avail of sanitisers inside and outside the committee room, to be respectful of other people's physical space, and to practise good respiratory etiquette. If members or witnesses have any symptoms of Covid-19, no matter how mild, they should not attend the meeting. Members and all in attendance are asked to exercise personal responsibility in protecting themselves and others from the risk of contracting Covid-19.

There are no apologies today and all members who are participating remotely need to be aware that they should do so from within the confines of the Leinster House complex only.
