Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank all of the witnesses for their opening statements and for keeping within the time limits. It is much appreciated. I have some housekeeping matters. Apologies have been received from Senators Pauline O'Reilly and Eileen Flynn and Deputies Cathal Crowe, Carol Nolan and Marc Ó Cathasaigh. I welcome Joan Burton who is in the Gallery. She is a former Tánaiste, Minister and distinguished Member of the Dáil for many years and is very welcome.
