Do Dr. Renwick's colleagues wish to make a contribution at this stage or will I proceed to questions and answers? If his colleagues wish to say anything now, they can do so if he wants to nominate them or they can speak whenever they wish. I am trying to keep the engagement informal as best I can even though I am wearing a mask. We have a two-hour time slot so at every meeting we rotate the order of speakers from political parties. That is how we operate. I propose that we take ten minutes with Sinn Féin followed by ten minutes for Fianna Fáil and ten for Fine Gael. That will be followed by the Social Democratic and Labour Party, SDLP, Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, independents, Aontú, Sinn Féin again, the Labour Party and the Green Party. We will rotate them in that order. I will take that as agreed. Whatever party indicates has a ten-minute slot to ask questions. That is to give everybody an opportunity to contribute and then, hopefully, we can have a second round. I call on Sinn Féin's first speaker for questions.
