It is time for questions from the members of the committee. All submissions received will be incorporated in the committee's report in order to synopsise and highlight the important points. Both the Minister, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, were very interested in attending this meeting but it was not possible to arrange a date suitable for them and we have had to move on without them, unfortunately. It should be recognised that the senior Minister, Deputy Coveney, and the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, both expressed an interest but we could not find a date to suit everybody and none the less they have expressed their keen interest in this topic.
