An Leas-Chathaoirleach:

I thank all the witnesses for their contributions and the level of detail included. They reminded us, in no small way, of the expectations and commitments they share and the impact we have seen in recent years of Covid, climate change and war, not alone in Ukraine but in many other parts of the world also. We acknowledge the recommendations and asks of the committee with respect to the central role we have in informing Government policy. Thereafter, the Government, as part of many other forums, can implement our wishes, desires and commitments. Members may now ask questions.
