I welcome both Ms Billie Sparks and Mr. Neale Richmond. The poll is very well presented and is one of the most readable and legible contributions I have seen thus far. It reveals the level of support there is for Europe, in that 85% of Irish people believe Ireland should remain as part of the European Union, which is very good. While it would not be our wish to have the United Kingdom leave, were it to so do, the general consensus is that Ireland would stay. While the accountability report is extremely well put together, I refer to the list of members of this joint committee on page 61. I am sure Deputy Joe O'Reilly would not wish to be deemed to be a member of Fianna Fáil.
