I welcome our guests. I thank them for their outline and for the information they sent us in advance. I look forward to the roll-out. I hear the calls concerning the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the need for more staff. I have not been happy with the BAI in many instances, especially in the recent past. I hope there will be a more engaging body that will be more combative with RTÉ and other groups if they make outlandish productions and insult sections of the people. There will be some robust engagement, including on accountability. We need that. It is important across all sectors. Given the effects of cyberbullying and everything else, there is an important role to be played regarding media content, including fake and distasteful media content. I look forward to engaging more with those concerned. That is all I have to say for today.
