A big welcome to all our visitors and to our guests in the Gallery. It is great to see them. I apologise for being late. Ironically, the reason I was late, and I have said this before, is that my son's care package does not function. I never know from one day to the next whether someone is going to come or who is going to come or how things will roll. That is the reason I was late but I apologise.

I have a fairly simple question. Before I ask it, I want to thank Mr. Dolan, as head of the Disability Federation of Ireland. I do not know if he recalls this but he facilitated training for my son, Eoghan, who was my campaign manager, where he learned how to clip videos and make videos on social media platforms. That was a core part of my election campaign. Whether he realises it or not, Mr. Dolan may have been responsible for me getting elected in the first place-----
