The Minister of State is a breath of fresh air. I would expect nothing else from her, having known her for many years. Our Leas-Chathaoirleach was chairing the Seanad during the Order of Business, so he was unavoidably not present for the Minister of State’s opening statement. However, given the fact that he played such a key role in the formation of this committee, I will ask him to say a few words.
