I thank our witnesses. This is an opportunity for Tusla to be open regarding quite a range of issues, many of them not of its own doing. I encourage the representatives to take the opportunity to be open with us on those. The obvious issue I have to raise is the special emergency arrangements. Ms Duggan has outlined it herself in her opening statement. I thought she would say a little bit more considering the recent media reports. It is quite worrying. To begin with, how much was spent last year on SEAs?
