First, I congratulate Deputy Brady in his new role as the Cathaoirleach of the PAC. It is a very prestigious Cathaoirleach position to have taken up so I commend him, congratulate him and wish him well in the time ahead.

I would also like to let Mr. Seamus McCarthy know that we are here to help in any way we can. We also ask that he helps us to ensure we get the very best value for public moneys going forward. I am delighted to be here on this committee with everyone else in the room. We are fortunate to be here and I intend to scrutinise public money and to ensure the people are getting the very best value for money.
