Happy birthday. I welcome the witnesses. They do not look that old.

I thought the presentation was excellent and Deputy O'Reilly's questions covered many of the questions I was going to ask, especially the point on what is made in Ireland what is not made in Ireland and so on. That is a bit confusing.

Ms O'Connell finished up by saying that she wanted the State to assist further in the work Guaranteed Irish does, especially on the exporting side. I ask her to focus on that and give us some practical examples of how she thinks the State, Government and the Oireachtas can assist.
