I thank the Cathaoirleach. I may not be here to listen to Mr. Kelly's full response, but I will be back. I appeal to him to look at the recordings of our earlier sessions because we had a lot of really meaningful engagement from advocates who are at the coalface of this area. I would ask him to look at that. Ms Rose Wall from Community Law and Mediation really summed it up for me in the end when she asked what problem the Government was trying to fix. That is the kernel of this whole story. I want to hear what that problem is from the witnesses who are here to make a case for this legislation. It is important that we have as much data and facts to justify the Government's desire, through the Department, to bring forward this legislation. I have one simple question. What is the problem the Government has charged or challenged the Department to fix? I ask Mr. Kelly to set that out as concisely and succinctly as he can.
