Mr. John McLaughlin:

I thank the committee for the invitation. As the Cathaoirleach indicated, I am joined by Liam Mac an Bhaird and Eunan Quinn. Mr. Mac an Bhaird has better Irish than me and, if the committee is content to allow it, he will read our summary statement into the record. We also have a translator, Seán Ó Daimhín, in the room to assist us if needed.
