The second session of today's meeting is a discussion on the general issue of Irish exports with the Irish Exporters Association. I welcome Mr. John Whelan, chief executive of the Irish Exporters Association, and Mr. Bernard Coyle, chairman of the IEA food and drink council. They are both very welcome and I appreciate their attendance. I will not go through the parliamentary practice regarding privilege as I read it out earlier. I invite Mr. John Whelan to make his presentation.
