I welcome the members of Bord na gCon and thank them for appearing. I also thank them for waiting when we deferred their appearance until approximately 11 a.m. Owing to the recess, we had a lot of correspondence to deal with.

As I only have 20 minutes, I would appreciate brief responses. I will try to ask brief questions in so far as I can. I will start with the corporate structure. I understand there are nine separate corporate entities within the group.
