I thank our guests for coming today and for their very informative and interesting presentations. I have a fair idea of what SOLAS, the WRC and PAS do. Even after 25 years in politics, I have no huge involvement in public appointments. That is the way it should be. I thank our witnesses for that.

As a politician, I want to put on the record that it is good to see integrity and impartiality in the systems.

I have a few questions regarding Solas. Will the representatives discuss the service's complaints process? What percentage of services are available to people with disabilities?

Will the Public Appointments Service representatives discuss how they reach out to diverse candidate pools, and positive action measures for certain groups of people to enable access to employment?

The Workplace Relations Commission received an accessibility score of 34% in the NDA's monitoring report of the EU web accessibility directive. Will the representatives discuss this matter and also how the organisation is improving the score? The witnesses will have plenty of time. I see there is a vote in the Dail.
