James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Before we proceed, I want to note that it is my first time in the Chair. I believe that, in the 104 years of Dáil Éireann, I am the youngest male to do so. The youngest female was my constituency colleague, former Deputy Myra Barry. I thank the Ceann Comhairle and Members for this opportunity. I now call the Minister of State for the response.
