I am. I welcome Mr. Mulvey. His reputation speaks for itself, as well as his experience. There is no issue in that respect. He mentioned in his opening statement that he had done some work for the Government in various areas as well. I am aware of some of that. There are different opinions regarding where the just transition is at the moment. I do not know if Mr. Mulvey saw the exchanges between committee members and representatives from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU. They were critical of Bord na Móna. Mr. Mulvey just said that Bord na Móna is proactive, while the representatives from ICTU had a polar opposite view and they represent that workforce. Has Mr. Mulvey seen the interaction between the committee members and the representatives from ICTU?
