So it will be Deputy Smith, Senator Kyne, Deputy Brabazon and then Senator Higgins. I will briefly take the opportunity to say that I was not aware of the online abuse experienced by Deputy Gibney. That was absolutely unacceptable. This applies right across the debate. It should be entirely possible for people who are for or against the triple lock to have this debate in a considered, reasonable and non-personalised way. This committee will operate in that way but I would ask people outside the committee to operate in that way too.
