That was really powerful. I thank Ms Sheridan for that. When people work in different sectors, it is very good to hear the real-life experience of the stress and concern they naturally feel. It is a very powerful tool to be able to give those examples. I thank her for sharing that.

It was powerful. I have a question about the personal injury guidelines. We were discussing it with the Minister earlier and with insurance firms yesterday. It was about a reduction in claims costs arising from personal injury guidelines and those being passed on to customers in the form of lower premiums. Will the witnesses give their views on that?
