Before calling on the Taoiseach, I am pleased to announce that it is agreed by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges that from today, for a trial period, computers are available to Members in the Chamber in seats designated by the Whips. Deputies will now be able to read parliamentary documents such as the Order Paper, parliamentary questions, the Order of Business, Bills and amendments, read and send e-mails and use the Houses of Oireachtas website. I thank all the staff involved, in particular the e-democracy and ICT staff, who have been very progressive. Today's development is another landmark in that regard.
