I welcome Mr. John McCarthy and his team and thank them for their work. I also welcome the CCMA representatives. They are two exceptional managers.

I will start with the Rebuilding Ireland figures referenced by Mr. John McCarthy. He will be aware of political charges made in the Dáil previously about massaged housing figures being thrown around. He will recognise the importance of impartiality in presenting these figures so that no matter what politicians say, we can have confidence in the impartiality of his Department. Is that fair to say?
