We are now moving into the second session which is a discussion with representatives of the Children's Rights Alliance. We are joined by Ms Tanya Ward, chief executive officer of the Children's Rights Alliance, and Ms Saoirse Brady, the legal and policy adviser. I thank them both for being so patient and I also thank them for being with us today. I invite them to give their opening statements, following which we will have a question and answer session.
