Apologies have been received from Senator Tony Mulcahy. The purpose of this meeting is to engage in a discussion with transition year students from Scoil Phobail Bhéara, Castletownbere, County Cork, in respect of their school project "Life Leeches - Trafficking Changes Lives", which deals with the issue of human trafficking. On behalf of the committee I am pleased to welcome Ms Helen O'Shea, Ms Claire Harrington, Ms Elaine O'Sullivan, Ms Ellen Creedon and Ms Marie Murphy, chaplain at the school. The format is that our guests will be invited to make an opening statement of approximately five minutes duration and that this will be followed by a question-and-answer session. Our guests have come a long way and we do not want to detain them because they will have an equally long journey home.
