You are all very welcome to the second meeting of the Select Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment. Before we proceed, I have a few housekeeping matters to go through as follows.

I advise members of the constitutional requirement that they must be physically present within the confines of the Leinster House complex in order to participate in public meetings. I will not permit a member to participate where they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, a member who attempts to participate from outside the precincts will be asked to leave the meeting. In this regard, I ask any member partaking via Microsoft Teams that prior to making their contribution to the meeting they confirm that they are on the grounds of the Leinster House complex.

I propose that we consider Committee Stage of the Copyright and Related Rights (Amendment) Bill 2025, No. 33 of 2025, on Thursday, 17 July 2025, at 9.30 a.m. We can also hold the election of Leas-Chathaoirleach and a motion to refer Private Members' Bills to the Oireachtas joint committee for scrutiny on that day. Is that agreed? Agreed.
