Dr. Muldoon, Dr. Keilthy and Ms Ward are very welcome here this morning. I also wish to acknowledge the presence in the Gallery of Ms Carragher and Ms McGreal. I will start by thanking them for the fantastic work they have done over the past two decades. I am very impressed with the title of the report, Tomorrow Starts with Us, because the work they are doing today will shape the tomorrow for our young people. It is much harder to be young now than it was in my time. Young people now face many extra hassles that were not there in my time. I wish those in the Ombudsman for Children's Office luck and congratulate them on the work they do. The office has gone through 1,770 cases lately and obviously people trust it, which is great. I also commend the office's outreach work. It is not just waiting for people to come to it, it is going to them. Well done on that.

What are the key legislative or administrative barriers preventing HIQA from inspecting emergency accommodation for children in international protection?
