It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge in the public Gallery the new chief executive of the HPRA, Dr. Lorraine Nolan. She is very welcome. I thank her for being here. On the committee's behalf and on my own, I express our appreciation and thanks to Pat O'Mahony, who has been most courteous, professional and personable to the members of this committee. We wish him well in the new phase of his life. I am sure Dr. Nolan will have a starring role in the Joint Committee on Health and Children during the term of the next Parliament. I congratulate her on her appointment and wish her well.
