I thank the witnesses for their collective wisdom and knowledge and for providing the paper they published some weeks ago. I asked them to attend when I saw that publication. In parallel to their thinking, the Government has also issued a plan, and one of the key issues is how we dovetail both. I like very much the principles that have been enunciated today. It is up to the politicians, the parties and the public to put practical examples in place that will be successful and will actually work.

We move to questions and comments from members. I call Deputy Troy.
