Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the first public meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage. We have received apologies from Deputy Thomas Gould and Senator Maria McCormack.

I advise members of the constitutional requirement that members must be physically present within the confines of the Leinster House complex in order to participate in public meetings. Following the first meeting of the joint committee, we received one nomination for the position of Leas-Chathaoirleach, which was for Deputy Séamus McGrath.
