I propose to publish the opening statements to the Oireachtas website. Is that agreed? Agreed.

It is proposed to elect a Leas-Chathaoirleach at the next public meeting on 20 June. It is important to have continuity for the meetings if I am indisposed for some reason or another. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Today has been a very important occasion for all members of the committee. We thank the witnesses most sincerely for their time, expertise and what they brought to the committee. It is an eventful day for us and for the witnesses. They are playing an important role. I respect them all for coming here. I thank them most sincerely for their contributions and their time.
