I welcome the witnesses and thank them for coming in. I also thank them for their fantastic work. I welcome the focus they put on interdepartmental co-operation. I am a big believer that every law, motion and suggestion should be disability-proofed. The work of the National Disability Authority goes towards that. I also welcome the children's disability network team review for which the authority interviewed stakeholders. You cannot beat lived experience. You could have ten degrees but there is no better way of getting evidence or information than talking to people who have lived through something. In the spirit of partnership between the National Disability Authority, the Government and all Oireachtas Members, I have a few questions. What supports would be of most help from this committee to help ensure departmental accountability as a strategy moves into implementation?
