I remind members and guests to turn off their mobile phones and to remove their masks when speaking because it will help the recording of the meeting. Today we are dealing with insurance issues. We have representatives of the industry with us. I welcome Mr. Michael Lyons, chairperson of the fire and safety division in Engineers Ireland; Mr. John Power, vice president of Engineers Ireland; Mr. Aidan Connaughton, general manager of AIG Insurance Ireland; Mr. Philip Bradley, CEO of AXA Insurance Ireland; Ms Antoinette McDonald, partner in customer experience marketing with AXA Insurance Ireland; and Ms Deirdre Fagan, senior claims manager of AXA Insurance Ireland.

The witnesses from Engineers Ireland will give a brief opening statement, which will be followed by questions and answers. The representatives of AIG Insurance Ireland and AXA Insurance Ireland will then give brief opening statements to be followed by an question-and-answer session.

Those in the House or in the precincts of the House or the convention centre have full privilege. Witnesses attending remotely from outside the parliamentary campus have been made aware that full privilege may not apply. I invite Mr. Lyons to make his opening statement on behalf of Engineers Ireland.
