A Chathaoirligh, I also congratulate you on your role. I am new, like Senator Nelson Murray, to the Oireachtas committees. I come from a business background. I am in business not only in the transport sector but also in the hospitality sector, so I know how tariffs and the VAT rate can affect the hospitality sector. Another role I have played is learning how to use enterprise to fund charities, so social enterprise has been a key aspect of what I do.

I look forward to being part of the committee and to you chairing it, a Chathaoirligh.
