I thank the Chair. I thank my proposer and seconder also and thank the members for their support. I certainly look forward to working with the Chairman and with all of the members. When I became Chair of the committee almost five years ago, Tara was the first clerk to the committee. I can absolutely attest to how wonderful she is to work with. Of course, we had Niamh for our final 12 months.

We have a robust agenda ahead of us in terms of the mandate we have for the years ahead. It behoves all of us to work well together on the issues that we have outlined on the work programme. I look forward to working with the Chairman and the members.
