The second part of today's meeting is a discussion with Ms Caroline Dwyer, mother of the late Michael, who was tragically killed in Bolivia in 2009 by Bolivian security forces. She is accompanied by Ms Catherine Heaney, who has been working on this campaign with the Dwyer family. They are both very welcome today. I am aware they have been campaigning to have an international-led investigation into the circumstances of the killing. The purpose of today's presentation is to inform members of this committee of the latest developments in the family's campaign and to assess what assistance we, as a committee, can lend to that campaign. As the witnesses are aware, we will hear their opening statement before having some questions and answers.
