Business of Joint Committee
The Cathaoirleach reiterated that members must be physically present in Leinster House to participate, and the committee agreed the minutes of 16 June.
We have apologies this morning from Senators Ryan and Boyle. 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 a member to participate when they are not adhering to this constitutional requirement. Therefore, any member who attempts to participate from outside the precinct will be asked to leave the meeting. In this regard, I ask any members partaking on MS Teams that prior to making a contribution to the meeting, they confirm that they are on the grounds of the Leinster House campus.
The minutes of 16 June have been circulated. Are they agreed? Agreed.
