The select committee is meeting to consider the Supports for Survivors of Residential Institutional Abuse Bill 2024. I remind members and officials to make sure their mobile phones are switched off for the duration of the meeting as they interfere with the broadcasting equipment, even on silent mode. I welcome the Minister for Education, Deputy Foley, and her officials to the meeting. I remind all members that, should a vote be called, members must physically be present in the committee room in order to vote. We will now proceed to consideration of the Bill. I invite the Minister to make her opening statement.
