Go raibh maith agat, a chomhairleoir. I remind members, I am happy to say, that representatives of the regional assemblies will be in with us next week and many of the issues the councillor raised will be explored in even greater detail on that occasion.

I will take members questions now. They will be aware that they have five minutes each. If there is anything left out at the end, we will certainly come back and make sure nothing is left. I call Senator Lynch, who indicated first.
