Is it agreed that we will publish the opening statements from our witnesses? Agreed. As agreed, we are reducing our speaking time to give an opportunity for all the members of the commission to make an introductory statement. I ask committee members to please keep it to specific questions rather than waiting until four minutes in to ask their question. We will start with five minutes per member. I am also conscious there is another committee coming into this room after us so we have to have our business finished on time, including private session. I would like everyone to get an opportunity. Please keep the questions specific and we will try to get everyone in again if we have time. We will say five minutes for questions and answers. I ask members of the commission also to keep their answers specific and tight. The first speaking slot is Fianna Fáil.
