We will resume in public session. On behalf of the committee, I welcome Ms Noelle O'Connell, CEO of European Movement Ireland. She is joined by her colleagues, Ms Dee McMahon, chief operations officer, and Dr. Matthew G. O'Neill, EU information and research officer. We will be discussing the findings of European Movement Ireland's 2023 opinion poll.

All witnesses are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice that they should not criticise or make charges any person or entity by name or in such a way as to make him or her identifiable or otherwise engage in speech that might be regarded as damaging to the good name of a person or entity. Therefore, if their statements are potentially defamatory with regard to an identifiable person or entity, they will be directed to discontinue their remarks.

I invite Ms O'Connell to make her opening statement.
