I apologise to our guests. I remind people to turn off their mobile phones or put them in flight mode. That would be of help. The second part of our meeting today is on the theme of transforming the life experience of people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and that of their families. I welcome Professor Eamon O'Shea and Dr. Caitríona Crowe of the South Tipperary Dementia Pilot Project, and Ms Tina Leonard, head of advocacy and public affairs, Alzheimer Society of Ireland. They will address the joint committee. I thank Deputy Seamus Healy for organising the meeting and for bringing this matter to our notice. I also welcome Deputy Noel Coonan to our meeting.
