Is that agreed with members and the other witnesses? Yes. We will take Mr. Allamby's statement as read. It is a difficulty we encounter often at our virtual committee meetings. We have found ways of working around it.

I thank the witnesses for their most comprehensive opening statements. It is great to hear that the three organisations are working so closely together. It is very important for an all-island approach. The committee has had a major focus on all aspects of trade. It is great to have a session that is focused on the human aspect and the impact of Brexit on people and citizen's rights. It is an important part of the committee's work. We will be reporting, as a committee, in early July. I ask the witnesses if they could frame their remarks with that in mind. We are looking for recommendations from them as to what we should include in that report in terms of the committee's recommendations to Government and issues they would like to see in black and white in that report, if they have any suggestions on that front.

As the witnesses will be aware, we engaged with Mr. Daniel Holder of the Committee on the Administration of Justice in the first of two sessions being held today. If the witnesses are agreeable, I will open the floor to members and we will go back and forth. I am conscious we are due to finish at 5 p.m. due to Covid-19 restrictions. I will take questions from Senators. Perhaps Ms Gibney can start each response and indicate which of the three witnesses is best placed to answer particular questions. Senator Malcolm Byrne indicated first.
