I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I read through all of them. My first few questions are to do with the Courts Service. Almost ten years ago, the Oireachtas voted to bring adult wardship under the lunacy Act 1871 to an end, to discharge all adult wards within a fixed period of three years and to move them to measured supports under the new framework. Will the witnesses meet the deadline to have this work completed? How did they encourage people to apply? It does not look like all the applications will be in by 2026. What are the witnesses' plans going forward?
