I thank the witnesses for their opening statements. As Ms O'Donovan mentioned, her husband, Barry, is present. Ms Olivia Flanagan from Down Syndrome Carlow is also present. I assume that all of the witnesses are free to answer questions.

The speaking order of members is Senator Seery Kearney; Deputy Sherlock; Deputy Cairns; Senator O'Sullivan; and Senator McGreehan. If others attend the meeting, I will slot them in. Starting with Senator Seery Kearney, will she confirm that she is on the grounds of Leinster House?
