There are people who tee up questions. I want to conclude on a more positive note, perhaps to embarrass or annoy a particular contributor, if everyone will bear with me for a few seconds. I appreciate Coalition 2030 and everything that has been said. It would be remiss not to conclude this meeting by acknowledging Mr. Donoghue's work as a representative of our State and a diplomat, and his incredible contribution to creating the SDGs and doing something the world had not seen before, which has been an absolute testament to everything that has followed on from it. Regardless of their successes or failure and how much is done, I believe none of it would have happened without his central involvement. The State owes him a real debt of thanks for his service, not just to Ireland but to the global community.
