I thank Ms McDermott very much. She has set out in no uncertain terms the task ahead. She mentioned that we had engagement last week with Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Rape Crisis Network Ireland and Women's Aid on these recommendations. Our next meeting on 28 April will be a public engagement with the Minister for Justice on the Third National Strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence. I will invite colleagues in turn to indicate if they wish to contribute. We have a time limit of eight minutes on each member's exchange to maximise participation by as many of our colleagues as possible. If I need to allow perhaps one or two members in on each round of questioning, that will be fine; we hope to get to a second round. Deputy Clarke indicated first.
