Today we engage with the Central Bank. I remind members of the note on privilege. Members are covered by privilege if they are on the campus of Leinster House. If not, they may only have limited privilege. Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the House or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable.

I have taken indications from Deputies Tóibín and Boyd Barrett and, I presume, Deputy Conway-Walsh who will speak after the Governor of the Central Bank gives his opening address. Mr. Makhlouf and his colleagues are welcome to the meeting. I invite him to make his opening remarks.
