I thank all the witnesses for coming in and I wish Mr. McCutcheon a happy anniversary. I echo what Deputy Murphy O'Mahony said. Part of me thinks we should not have pre-legislative scrutiny on this and that we should just do implement it. I will put my cards on the table. There is cross-party consensus on this, as all parties are agreed on the need for it. I am willing to be corrected on that, but that is certainly my understanding.

I have a few questions. One relates to the kidney sharing scheme. My preference was for the hard opt-out option until I began to look into and read up on it. Perhaps there is a bit of brutal efficiency in me or something. It seemed to me that it would work a little better, but I take on board what has been said. Mr. Conroy mentioned the kidney sharing scheme. Could he take us through what that is, how it works now and how it will change if this legislation goes through?
