Election of Acting Chairman

Clerk to the Committee

Due to the absence of a Cathaoirleach and Leas-Chathaoirleach, I now invite nominations for a temporary Chair.

Comment on this

I nominate Deputy Carey.

I second that. There is no better man for the job.

Clerk to the Committee

Is that agreed? Agreed. I now call Deputy Carey to take the Chair.

I am afraid I have an issue with my voice today.

I would like to rescind my nomination.

Joe Carey Acting Chairman Fine Gael

I think I would rather someone else sat in as my voice is very bad. Would Deputy Crowe mind taking over?

Comment on this

I have to attend to other business but I can chair the meeting for a while. Perhaps we can rotate, if members are agreeable.
