Before we begin, I request that members sit only in the permitted seats and in front of avail- able microphones to ensure they are heard. This is important as not doing so causes serious problems for broadcast, editorial and sound staff. I remind those present to please maintain so- cial distancing at all times during and following the meeting. I ask those members participating remotely to keep their devices on mute until they are invited to speak. When speaking, I ask that cameras be switched on where possible and for members to be mindful that we are now in public session. In addition, I remind members of the constitutional requirements regarding the necessity for members to be physically present within the confines of the place where Parliament has chosen to sit, namely, Leinster House, in order to participate in public meetings.

    Venturing in the Slipstream

    VENTURING IN THE SLIPSTREAM THE PLACES OF VAN MORRISON’S SONGWRITING Geoff Munns BA, MLitt, MEd (hons), PhD (University of New England) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Western Sydney University, October 2019. Statement of Authentication The work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge and belief, original except as acknowledged in the text. I hereby declare that I have not submitted this material, either in full or in part, for a degree at this or any other institution. .............................................................. Geoff Munns ii Abstract This thesis explores the use of place in Van Morrison’s songwriting. The central argument is that he employs place in many of his songs at lyrical and musical levels, and that this use of place as a poetic and aural device both defines and distinguishes his work. This argument is widely supported by Van Morrison scholars and critics. The main research question is: What are the ways that Van Morrison employs the concept of place to explore the wider themes of his writing across his career from 1965 onwards? This question was reached from a critical analysis of Van Morrison’s songs and recordings. A position was taken up in the study that the songwriter’s lyrics might be closely read and appreciated as song texts, and this reading could offer important insights into the scope of his life and work as a songwriter. The analysis is best described as an analytical and interpretive approach, involving a simultaneous reading and listening to each song and examining them as speech acts.

As the Deputy will appreciate, as well as the obligation not to identify applicants for international protection under Section 26 of the International Protection Act 2015, planning for the management of the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic is being led by the HSE and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET). The identification of and reporting on any clusters, outbreaks or confirmed cases of Covid-19 is a matter for NPHET and the Health Protection Surveillance Centre. The NPHET's policy is to maintain patient confidentiality at all times. It is also the policy of my Department that we maintain the confidentiality of International Protection applicants at all times and therefore we do not comment on any individuals who avail of our services. As the Deputy will appreciate, international protection applicants have the same right to privacy and medical confidentiality as everyone else.
