Before I invite the Minister of State, Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, to make his opening statement, I will pose a number of questions which I ask him to bear in mind. First, when may we expect to receive the review on the diaspora? The Minister of State has promised to appear before the joint committee on the day of the report's launch. Second, does he intend to hold a global economic forum towards the end of the year? These forums have been highly successful in the past.
