That concludes the first round of questions. The floor is now open to anybody who would like to come in a second time. Members can indicate if they wish to speak by raising a hand. While they are thinking about, I have some questions for Professor Moloney.

My first question is on an issue that has come up previously at this committee and at the Joint Committee on Health. We have talked a little today about health. I note in the work of the committee thus far a discussion around the demographics challenge of providing suitable services into the future. Does the commission have enough access to suitable data in terms of its work? As a committee, we are aware that sometimes Ireland falls short on the provision of disaggregated data for the purposes of, for example, health service planning. Has the commission come across that yet?
