I thank everyone for their good wishes. We are off to a good start, particularly as there has not been any dissent so far. Let us hope that continues.

The first item on the agenda is nominations for Leas-Chathaoirleach. As members are aware, a committee may choose to elect a Leas-Chathaoirleach who can perform the duties and exercise the authority of the Cathaoirleach in my absence. I propose to request nominations for the position of Leas-Chathaoirleach. Members might wish to consult one another and send nominations to the clerk by 30 May 2025. I further propose that the election of a Leas-Chathaoirleach will take place at the next private meeting of the committee. Is that agreed? Agreed.
