The Leas-Cheann Comhairle gives Covid safety reminders and asks Members to follow masking and distancing guidance.
Before we start, I have a reminder about health and safety. Members and all in attendance are asked to exercise personal responsibility to protect themselves and others from the risk of contracting Covid-19. Members are strongly advised to practise good hand hygiene and observe the chequerboard seating arrangement. They should also maintain an appropriate level of social distancing during and after the sitting. Masks, preferably of a medical grade, should be worn at all times during the sitting, except when speaking. I ask for the full co-operation of Members in this regard.
Before we start Leaders' Questions, if everyone could comply leis na srianta ama, bheinn buíoch daoibh go léir.
