Go raibh maith agat. Cuirim fáilte roimh na finnéithe uilig. At the outset I believe the use of sabbaticals is essential. I thought I would say the good stuff before I get stuck in to the more difficult pieces.

I want to talk with Professor Fitzgerald and Dr. Thorn. I thank them for their attendance and I also welcome Professor O'Shea and the other representatives. I am not going to get through everything in ten minutes so I am assuming I will have an opportunity to come in again.

I congratulate Professor Fitzgerald and wish him luck in his role. I wish him well. I want to clear up one issue on Mr. Tadhg Kearney. He has a jeweller's shop in Limerick city, which is fairly well known. Is Mr. Kearney still on the governing authority?
