Thank you for that wide-ranging and comprehensive overview of Turkish foreign policy and, at the outset, a comprehensive note on the positive and constructive bilateral relations between Ireland and Turkey. As you pointed out, there is much to build on in our relationship.
I will call on members of the committee for questions. I will commence with Deputy Gannon who is with us in the committee room. Members can raise their hands if they wish. I will follow on to Deputy Clarke as soon as we can.
