We will resume in public session. I welcome back members and viewers who are tuned in on Oireachtas television. I welcome Professor Anthony McCarthy, consultant perinatal psychiatrist, National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street, to this evening's meeting. Ordinarily, I would read the note on privilege and the Defamation Act 2009. Is Professor McCarthy familiar with that or would he like me to go through it?
