Thank you, Professor McKeown. On behalf of the committee, I congratulate Professor McAdam on his elevation to uachtarán. I also welcome Dr. Yvonne Smyth, who is online.

We will go through Professor McKeown and he will farm the questions out to whoever he thinks is best placed to answer them. We normally do this in ten-minute slots, that is, questions and answers within ten minutes. We will try our best to stick to that. We are on a tight schedule this morning; there will be another group coming in later in the morning. I will open up the floor. Deputy Durkan from Fine Gael will lead us off.
