I welcome the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, and the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, who are here to present the Estimates. I remind them of the note we receive on privilege. I remind members not to name or identify anyone outside of the Houses. They are covered by full privilege if they are here on the campus of Leinster House. If they are not, they may only be entitled to part-privilege. We have been asked to review the Estimates for Public Services 2024 in respect of Votes 11 to 14, inclusive, and 17 to 19, inclusive. I propose to take opening statements from the Minister and the Minister of State, if that is what they had planned, and to open it to members' questions immediately afterwards.
