I thank Professor Lynch and I congratulate her on the publication of her book, On Care and Capitalism, which is very much relevant, not only to her submission today, but to our consideration of the recommendations. I thank Professor Lynch also for the very detailed comments she has given us in her appendix, on the individual recommendations of the assembly. They are very welcome.

I ask Ms Zoe Hughes from the Care Alliance Ireland to give her opening statement.
