Thank you very much, Mr. Reid. Before I invite members to ask questions, I want to ask one brief question and then I will ask Senator Ruane, who is the Leas-Chathaoirleach, to chair the meeting.

Mr. Reid, you rightly pointed out that the make up of the assembly reflects the national demographic in terms of age, gender, etc. This is a brief procedural question. How was that achieved and who carried out the selection process?
