There is a big change in society. The Minister of State witnessed it on her visit to Kilkenny. I was impressed by what she had to say in her interactions with local communities down there. The delivery of online services in areas such as mental health, addiction and all of that is a huge change which needs to be reflected in some way to inform the likes of the HSE and the Department of Health. It is important that in the work the CSO carries out we remember all strands of society.

That brings us to the end of our deliberations on the Estimates. I am sure the Minister of State will provide the committee with any information requested by members in a timely fashion. I thank her and her officials for coming in.
