I thank the director and his staff for attending. We have been waiting a long time for him to come in. His participation will be very useful to us. I hope we can engage today and in the future.

I have a number of questions. The Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Humphreys, was appointed on 30 November 2017. How many times has Mr. Drennan met her since? Has he met the Department to discuss the failings in the Seán FitzPatrick investigation and the preparation of the Bill we are now considering?

In Mr. Drennan's opening statement, he said that, until 20 years ago, company law was, to all intents and purposes, unenforced in this jurisdiction. Does he believe the enforcement of company law in Ireland is now as robust as it could be? Could more be done? What could be improved?
