I thank Mr. Meehan. Our colleague, Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan, does excellent work for the Association of European Parliamentarians with Africa, AWEPA. She is a great champion of the organisation and does a huge amount of work to facilitate meetings. Many of us would like to give more time to it but pressures on time from committees and other commitments do not allow us to give as much time as we would like to that organisation but Deputy O'Sullivan's work with it is exemplary.

I will call my colleagues, Deputy Noel Grealish, Senator Ivana Bacik, Senator Billy Lawless and Deputy Seán Barrett. I ask that one person respond to each topic from the questions since we are unfortunately under serious time constraints.
