I welcome Deputy Alan Kelly to the committee. Fáilte ar ais. He replaces Deputy Sean Sherlock on the committee. I thank Deputy Sherlock for his work. I ask the secretariat to send him a note of our appreciation for his efforts over the past two years as a member of this committee. I look forward to working with Deputy Kelly as I am sure the other members do as well. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta Dála Kelly.

I invite Mr. Kevin McCarthy to make his opening statement. He is very welcome. I understand that he was appointed the Accounting Officer for the Vote in January and I wish him well in his new brief. As detailed in the letter of invitation, he has five minutes for his opening statement. Lean ar aghaidh.
