RACO has sent the committee a lot of information on the voluntary retirement scheme and the Amárach Research member survey. I thank the witnesses for that and thank Mr. O’Mearain for his opening statement. I join colleagues in congratulating the members who were involved in the event last week off the coast. I recognise the skill and courage they showed. It was a dangerous operation on the seas by the Naval Service, the Rangers and the airmen involved. I thank them for that through our guests.

Last week, we were told of a proposal to amalgamate the seagoing tax credit, the seagoing commitment scheme and so on. What is Mr. O’Mearain’s understanding of that and how it might work?
