I thank Dr. Caitriona Crowe for her passionate presentation. I now welcome Ms Tina Leonard, head of advocacy and public affairs at the Alzheimer Society of Ireland. I also welcome Ms Emer Begley, policy and research manager of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Mr. Noel Maher, clinical nurse specialist, Mr. Richie Molloy and Ms Maeve O'Neill all from the South Tipperary Dementia Project, who are in the Visitors Gallery.

A vote has been called in the Dáil. I apologise to the witnesses. Rather than stop and start, I will suspend the sitting until after the vote and eventually we will get to hear the presentations.
