I thank Ms Sherlock and Mr. Hogan. There is always a particular welcome extended to people who have travelled from Cork. This is the first time that Mr. Hogan has presented and I say well done to him. Another star is born in terms of presenting a really strong case on the lived experience and I thank our guests for their recommendations.

I welcome Dr. Mary Murphy, Ms Sinéad Burke and Ms Orla O’Neill from the St. Stephen’s Green Trust. I call on one of them to make the opening statement on behalf of the trust.
