I remind members to turn off their mobile phones as they interfere with the sound system. Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the Houses or an official by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable. I welcome everyone here today.

Before the committee proceeds with its business, I propose we take a minute's silence to mark the death of the former Taoiseach, Liam Cosgrave. Is that agreed? Agreed.
