Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that where possible they should not criticise or make charges against any person or entity by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.

This meeting has been convened to consider the 2023 Supplementary Estimate of Vote 30 - Agriculture, Food and the Marine, as referred by the Dáil on 1 November to the committee. I welcome the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Charlie McConalogue, and his officials. The Minister is accompanied by Mr. Gordon Conroy, assistant secretary, Ms Rebecca Chapman, principal officer with the finance division, and Mr. Paul Mc Nally, assistant principal officer with the finance division. I will now ask the Minister to make his opening statement.
