We will commence our discussion on politically exposed persons with the Departments of Finance and Justice.

Before we do so, I wish to acknowledge that we agreed the minutes of the joint committee meeting of Wednesday, 21 September 2022, at an earlier private meeting.

The format for today's meeting will be that we will have a statement from the Department of Justice after which we can get into a discussion on the general topic of politically exposed persons. I welcome our witnesses, Ms Sinéad Reynolds, Ms Brenda McVeigh and Mr. Brendan Bruen. They are all very welcome. Who wishes to kick off?
