I thank Dr. Fullen. Dr. Brian McGuire was invited to come before us today, but he cannot be here. I thank both Dr. Fullen and Dr. McGuire for working together on the presentation. I take the opportunity to acknowledge the presence of Dr. Hugh Gallagher. I have received apologies from a number of members who cannot be present for the proceedings, including Deputies Regina Doherty, Robert Dowds who was present earlier, and Seamus Healy and Senators Imelda Henry and Jillian van Turnhout.
