Deputy Rabbitte is fine for time. The exhibit that is on the screen is from a presentation by Dr. Abigail Aiken, who we asked to attend as a witness, following on from Ms Justice Mary Laffoy having pointed out that this was an issue we needed to investigate further because they did not get to spend as much time on it during the deliberations of the Citizens' Assembly. That may be of assistance in terms of the number that Dr. Aiken has been able to collate.

I will now call the next questioner. Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick has ten minutes in total and he can use it in this session and the next. He can let me know.
