I thank Ms DeSouza. I apologise for the absence of some members because there are a lot of other things going on particularly the ploughing championships. That is an issue particularly for people who are standing for election.

The order we agreed earlier was Sinn Féin, Fianna Fáil, Alliance, Sinn Féin and Independents but that can change if someone else comes in. I am not sure if Senator Currie is coming. I hope she is because she is very anxious to be here. If she comes, we will take questions from her as well, if that is okay. The Sinn Féin representative is next.
