I thank Ms Wall and Ms Heavey. We will have the Department officials before the committee after this meeting. Our current guests are very welcome to stay in the Public Gallery and listen to those interactions. We also had a briefing with the Department on 9 April, which committee members attended and which was very helpful for us, as are those statements and observations the witnesses raised.

I will go now to members. We will follow the usual rota and have six-minute slots. Senator Fitzpatrick will take the first slot.
