I welcome the witnesses. I will focus on a number of areas, namely, prevention, elimination and treatment. I will start with elimination. This was mentioned quite a lot in the opening statement. The World Health Organization is committed to a target of elimination by 2030. Different things are said in the opening statement. It seems to suggest Ireland's elimination progress could be pushed out to 2050 but elsewhere it says we could be on track for 2030. Which is it? Are we on track for that target of elimination by 2030?
