I thank Mr. Attwood. Before I invite Ms Weir to speak, I welcome Mr. David Halloway, who is online. I apologise as I did not see him earlier. He is the director of Community Dialogue. Ms Louise Malone, senior lead at Youth Action NI, is also online. I am more than happy for them to make contributions at any stage. If they wish to make a statement, they can do so after Ms Weir. They are more than welcome to the committee meeting. The committee is delighted they are here. I invite Ms Weir to make her opening statement.
