Conor McGuinness (Waterford, Sinn Fein)

On behalf of the committee, I thank the Minister of State and his officials for attending here today. It is the first time, but it certainly will not be the last time. As he heard, there is a wide range of issues that we wish to discuss with him and tease out in more detail and at length. I thank him and his officials for their contributions to today's meeting.

We will suspend to allow the next witnesses enter the room and get set up.
