I thank members and witnesses for participating in the meeting. We have not received any apologies.

Today's meeting has been convened to consider the Companies (Corporate Governance, Enforcement and Regulatory Provisions) Bill 2024, which was referred to the select committee by order of the Dáil on 25 September 2024. The purpose of the Bill is to provide for the conduct of, and participation in, general meetings of a company or industrial and provident society by the use of electronic communications technology and to amend certain provisions of the Companies Act 2014, Registration of Business Names Act 1963 and the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1893 in respect of various matters relating to the corporate governance enforcement and regulatory provisions. I therefore welcome the Minister of State with special responsibility for trade promotion and digital transformation, Deputy Calleary, who is accompanied by his officials.

I propose that we try to complete our consideration of Committee Stage of this Bill today. Is that agreed? Agreed.
