I thank the Cathaoirleach. It is a great honour to be nominated to become Vice Chairperson of this committee. I look forward to working with the Cathaoirleach and with all my colleagues for the betterment of the areas of defence and national security. As it is a new committee, I look forward to exploring what positive work we can do. In the unlikely event of the Cathaoirleach not being in a position to chair some of the meetings, I look forward to carrying out those functions to the best of my ability. I thank everyone who nominated and supported me for this position. I look forward to working with all members.
