I welcome Ms Justice Laffoy and her team. I hope she is well.

I wish them well in their important work. It is an issue in which we on the joint committee have taken a keen interest. As I am sure they will be aware, there were a number of examinations into nursing homes and residential care facilities in recent times, obviously, because of Covid, and there were a number of reports. There was the expert panel report commissioned by the Minister, a HIQA report and a report from the Special Committee on Covid-19 Response. Are all of those reports being examined by the commission in the work that it is currently doing?
