I appreciate that that is not within your jurisdiction.

As Members have no further questions, I thank all the witnesses for their time and the quality of their presentation, as well as for their work and commitment. It is important that we keep a vigilant eye on the issues, particularly on the importation of medicines. As Deputy Maloney said, the IMB's leaflets are to be commended. I have seen the leaflets; indeed, I have a couple of them in my office. I hope that the IMB will consider, as part of an engagement strategy, giving some of them to TDs and Senators for their constituency offices.
