We will take questions and give Mr. Matthews a further opportunity to elaborate on the points he is making.

This committee does not formulate legislation but we, as Oireachtas Members, have an input into its scrutiny. It is possible to introduce Private Members' legislation. Legislation generally comes from Departments. One reason for this meeting is to highlight the issues that arise and focus on the detail from the delegates' point of view.

According to the usual order at meetings, we will begin with the Fianna Fáil spokesperson.
