I thank Ms Craig. I apologise for not stating clearly during my opening remarks that three minutes has been allotted for each opening statement, although I will allow a bit of leeway with that. Many of the submissions are very detailed and we will have a chance to look over them. Members will have eight minutes each for questions, so our guests will have opportunities to raise any issues they might not have got across in their opening statements.

I invite Mr. Coveney of RTÉ to make his opening statement.
