Business of Committee

Summary

Deputy Paula Butterly was nominated and agreed as temporary Cathaoirleach, with apologies noted and a brief suspension to admit witnesses.

Clerk to the Committee

As the Cathaoirleach and the Leas-Chathaoirleach are unavoidably absent, I now invite nominations for a temporary Cathaoirleach.

Paula Butterly An Cathaoirleach Gníomhach Fine Gael

I thank members for nominating me to act as temporary Cathaoirleach today. Apologies have been received from Senators Lynch and O'Loughlin. I now propose that we suspend briefly to allow our witnesses to take their seats.
