If the Commissioner or any of his team are sending information in response to members' questions, they should do so through the clerk to the committee in order that it can be circulated to all members. The witnesses should feel free to do that in response to any questions they are asked. It is always useful to get supplementary information.

Next up we have Deputy Costello, followed by Deputy Niamh Smyth. Deputy McGuinness and Senator Keogan, who are not members of the committee, are present. I will allow our visitors a speaking slot but unfortunately it will be a reduced one as we under time pressure because the Minister is due to arrive in a few moments. They may have two or three minutes each after committee members have spoken.
