Go raibh maith agat, Dr. Shannon. Before I call my colleagues, I wish to commend you on a significant piece of work. It is a forensic examination - 318 pages addressing the process and procedures adopted by members of An Garda Síochána in carrying out their duties and powers under section 12 of the Child Care Act 1991. It is a mighty tome and I thank you for it.

A number of members have indicated that they wish to pose questions or offer views on the report and your opening address. I call Deputy Clare Daly.
