Go raibh maith agat a Chathaoirligh agus comhghairdeas. I am delighted to see the Deputy as Chair. We look forward to working with him in an objective way to get the job done. My colleagues, Deputy Paul Donnelly and Senator Conor Murphy, and I have a good spread all over the island. I look forward to working on an all-island basis. This is particularly important given the geopolitical turbulence we are witnessing at present. It is important that we do everything possible to maintain our competitiveness and to look to the future and future jobs. We must do this in line with workers' rights, environmental protections and our commitments on climate change. I believe we can do so in a responsible and sustainable way. I look forward to us working together on all of those aspects and having a good, robust work plan for the committee for the coming years.
