James Lawless: Apologies have been received from Senator Ruane. I will explain for the benefit of external attendees that there was a vote in the Dáil Chamber, so we have been slightly delayed in getting down to business. This happens - we are in a live parliamentary situation and it is par for the course. My apologies, it is unavoidable. We move to our topic for the meeting, which is...

James Lawless: I am sorry to interrupt Ms Cunningham. Unfortunately, there are time limits on opening statements, even if there are not on GSOC. I see from the opening statement that was submitted by the AGSI that Ms Cunningham has another two pages to go. If she wants to wrap up then she can come back in at length over the course of the meeting. She might conclude if that is okay.

Last but not least, we have the...
