Business of Joint Committee
The Chair noted a maternity-leave apology, reaffirmed that members must be physically present in the Leinster House complex to participate, and the minutes of 19 and 20 May were agreed.
Apologies have been received from Senator Nicole Ryan, who is on maternity leave.
I remind 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 members to participate if they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, members who attempt to participate from outside the precincts will be asked to leave the meeting. In this regard, I also ask members participating via MS Teams that prior to making their contribution to the meeting they confirm they are on the grounds of the Leinster House complex.
The minutes of the meetings of 19 and 20 May have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.
