I welcome Mr. Geary to the committee. I salute the great effort he and his family have made on behalf of Calum. Instituting proceedings against the State is not easy. Certainly when up against a defendant with virtually unlimited resources it puts great pressure on the individuals taking the case and their families. In terms of the result that the Gearys got and the outcome, it was worthwhile and they deserve to be commended for it.

Regarding the supports that Calum now has in the classroom, will Mr. Geary describe them for the committee and give us an overview of the consequences of his campaign to date?
