I thank Ms Feely for her response. From the committee's point of view, we welcome that Age Action has carried out that research and, when it is concluded, that it would be forwarded to the committee. While Ms Feely was waiting for us to call her in here this morning, we as a committee were setting out our work programme, and pensions and the pensions gap that flows from it is one of the areas we are committed to examining and on which we want to do some in-depth analysis. We cannot divide the two; they are related. In that regard, the research Age Action has done would be very useful and I thank Ms Feely for highlighting that.

It is now Ms Fahey's opportunity to respond.
