Joe O'Reilly: I apologise for being unable to remain to hear all of the presentations fully, due to matters beyond my control. Ms King neatly leads me to the question I wish to raise.

My second concern, which was addressed by the...

Order of Business (19 May 2015)

Migration is...

Joe O'Reilly: At the outset I wish to record my personal admiration for the extraordinary achievements of the Ministers for Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform in very difficult circumstances.

Joe O'Reilly: I appreciate that because this is of huge interest to me as a member of this committee, with its national brief, and as a Deputy for a Border constituency.

I would be concerned that all the cross-Border...
