I thank Professor Ó Gallachóir for his opening statement. I will now invite members to indicate if they wish to ask questions. The meeting is confined to a maximum of three hours. To ensure all members get an opportunity to pose questions, I propose that each member be given two minutes to address their questions to the witnesses. Is that agreed? Agreed. If possible, I ask that members would indicate to which witness they are addressing their questions. We have more witnesses today than we usually would have. If any of the witnesses want to come in on a particular question, I ask that they use the raise hand function and I will call them in order. Professor Ó Gallachóir and Ms Donnelly might assist me if they think there are questions that might be referred to specific members of their committee.

As Deputy Bruton indicated first, I now invite him to put his questions.
