I thank Mr. Sobral very much and I have two members indicating their wish to speak. I call Deputy Calleary followed by Deputy Howlin.

Before I let them in I do not have a question but wish to make an observation. That has been as clear and as concise a contribution I have ever heard from anybody coming from anything to do with the European Union or the Commission. It was concise and clear in language that was non-jargon-like and was very refreshing. To hear language like we can "hit the ground running" in early 2022 and to looking at the PEACE PLUS campaign with a "grassroots approach" is the language that people are used to, even in respect of the midlands programme, together with his speaking of the PEACE PLUS programme starting on time in the first quarter of 2022. I wanted to say that and I am very grateful. Whether or not Mr. Sobral wrote it himself or his team helped him to do so, I wish to congratulate them and Mr. Sobral himself and no doubt the members will follow now in a similar vein with clear and concise observations and questions. I call Deputy Calleary.
