I welcome Mr. O'Brien and his colleagues. I will be brief as I am due to speak next in the Dáil on a Bill.

I would like to focus on a number of areas but will commence by returning to the issue of the payment of consultants and the delays in this regard. In Mr. O'Brien's view, what is the reason for the delay in consultants signing off on forms?
