I thank the witnesses. For my sins I have been voting on the Planning and Development Bill next door so I apologise if I ask questions which have already been asked. I will review the transcript either way.

There are three areas I want to talk about, the first of which is the capital budget for disabilities. Disability has been taken from health and is now with the witnesses' Department. Will they explain the decision-making process on national capital disability projects and how that works with the Department of Health and the HSE? What new mechanisms are in place on that?
