It is a Gaelscoil. Earlier, we introduced our new adviser, Donna Maguire, who replaces Caoímhe O'Rourke. We also have a new member. Deputy Rose Conway-Walsh is very welcome. We have worked together previously on committees so I am sure that she will be anxious to get into the work. I look forward to her contribution. I pay tribute to Deputy Mairéad Farrell, who fitted into the committee quite well and did a lot of hard work. She carried out a good forensic examination of the issues at hand. I thank her for her contribution and wish her well. She is an excellent parliamentarian.

We will move on to the business for today. We have already dealt with the minutes of the meeting of 29 March. They were agreed in the private session. Mr. Watt is very welcome. I think he understands the procedures here.

I remind members of the note on privilege. Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that they should not comment on, criticise, or make charges against a person or entity outside the House or an official either by name or in such a way as to make him, her or it identifiable. I understand Mr. Watt might like to make a few comments first.
