When we set out our programme of work, members identified that there is always a focus on the animals and the schemes and that very often the focus leaves the farmers themselves. We very much want to make sure that the person at the heart of the operation gets a focus, including health and well-being. We want to focus on farm safety, including the farmers and their families.

We will take a group of questions and the witnesses will then have an opportunity to respond, after which we will move on to the next group of questions. I ask members to put their questions quickly. A number of committee members are offering, including Deputy Healy-Rae, Senator Daly, Senator Brady, Deputy Kenny and Deputy Aird. I invite Deputy Healy-Rae to ask his questions.
