First, I have a Cathaoirleach's declaration here that I need to read into the record. In accordance with Standing Orders, I wish to make the following declaration: I do solemnly declare that I will duly and faithfully and to the best of my knowledge and ability execute the office of Leas-Chathaoirleach of the Committee on Arts, Media, Communications, Culture and Sport without fear of favour, apply the rules as laid down by the House in an impartial and fair manner, and maintain order and uphold the rights and privileges of members in accordance with the Constitution and Standing Orders.

We move to the opening statements now. Mr. Ó Coigligh is first.
