I must stop Ms Harling. I thank her for her excellent presentation. We now come to the question and answer session. The practice that has developed over time is that a member asks a question, which is then answered. Nobody makes long speeches as members have an opportunity to make them in the Dáil or Seanad Chamber. We try to elicit information at committee meetings. Answers should be concise and focused on the question.

I will give each Member approximately five minutes to ask initial questions. If they want to revert subsequently, we can be a little bit flexible, but we want to finish in half an hour or thereabouts.
