I note the absence and apologies of Senator Mark Daly. Deputy Olivia Mitchell is Acting Chairman of the Dáil at present and intends to be here later. The draft minutes of the meeting of 3 September have been circulated. Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. Are there any matters arising from the minutes?
