Apologies have been received from Deputy Alan Farrell. It is good to see Deputy Mark Wall back with us. He is very welcome.

The meeting has been convened to consider Committee Stage of the Court Proceedings (Delays) Bill 2023. I welcome the Minister of State at the Department of Justice and his officials to the meeting. I remind members that if a division is called, they must be physically present. They cannot partake in a division online, although they can follow the proceedings online. Does the Minister of State wish to make an opening statement or leave it until the end?
