That is fine. Thank you, Senator. On behalf of the committee I extend a warm welcome to Mr. Creighton and Mr. Kelleher. I suggest that Mr. Creighton's opening statement should not exceed ten minutes. We will then have questions and comments from members, with each member allocated approximately ten minutes for same. Members may contribute a second time if they wish. I invite Mr. Creighton to make his opening statement.
