In regard to the second motion, I must now put the question, "That Deputy James Geoghegan be elected Leas-Chathaoirleach of the Joint Committee on Artificial Intelligence". Is that agreed? Agreed. I declare Deputy Geoghegan elected as Leas-Chathaoirleach of the committee and congratulate the Deputy on his election.

I am advised by the clerk to the committee that we do not have time for private business. I thank everyone for coming today.

The joint committee adjourned at 1.58 p.m. until 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 24 June 2025.
