We might be able to follow up on that matter because Roadbridge had a large number of subcontractors and suppliers who are now in serious difficulty as a result of the collapse of Roadbridge. It is in receivership and the company has ceased trading. I might follow up with Mr. Walsh regarding the contracts. He might write to us specifically on the issue of the enablers for delivery of the NDP and reform of the public works contract. We will do work on that probably during the second week after the Easter break because we see it as being that urgent.
I again thank Mr. Walsh and Mr. O'Neill from TII for attending and engaging with the committee today. We look forward to further engagement. They have always been very good at appearing before the committee. As public representatives, we have a role in the delivery of projects. That is the role of democracy. It is a good one when we see what is happening in Ukraine. President Zelenskyy's address to the Parliament today puts it in context. We might not always agree, but at least we get the opportunity to express our views and work collaboratively.
