Is that agreed? Agreed.

Members are reminded of the long-standing parliamentary practice to the effect that members should not comment on, criticise or make charges against a person outside the Houses or an official, either by name or in such a way as to make them in any way identifiable. With that, I advise the Tánaiste that we still operate a hybrid, post-Covid model insofar as it is open to members to join from their offices, should they so desire. However, I do not see any members online. In the event that I do and that they pose a question, I will alert the Tánaiste.

I invite the Tánaiste to make his opening statement.
