I thank the Chair and reiterate my congratulations. It is good to have a Corkman in the Chair even if it is not the same party. I thank him for giving his time over the past few days. He has met a number of members and has offered to meet everybody. That was appreciated as well. It is hard to follow members like Deputies Burke and Daly with their CVs. I have a particular interest in rare diseases and orphan drugs, which Senator Costello mentioned, and the whole reimbursement system. I jointly chaired the cross-party group on rare diseases over the past three years with Deputy John Lahart. I look forward to continuing that work. I am a team player. This committee is about accountability, transparency and the job of work it can deliver. I also look forward to contributing to policy.
