I thank the witnesses for their presentation. I confirm that I am in my office in Leinster House.

May I pick up on the issue of barriers to exercising the right to repair and keep consumer durables in circulation and use? One of the issues that has been consistently raised concerns product liability and how this acts as a barrier to the increased use of repaired goods and the reuse of goods. Is this an issue that the Department is aware of and has acknowledged? Have any measures been taken in this regard? Maybe it is working with other Departments. I guess it is a cross-departmental issue.
