I thank Mr. Griffin, Mr. O'Keeffe and Mr. Moan for attending the meeting. It was very important that we heard from the delegation before we finished our report because it brought another perspective to it. Like Deputy Calleary, I did not realise the in-depth work behind everything it does so that was informative and worthwhile. We will certainly get a chance to read all these documents before we make any recommendations. Likewise, we hope to contact it again because this is only a start for us. This is an issue on which we must focus as a committee and make the right changes. There is no point in our meeting on a weekly basis if it does not achieve anything so our aim is for this to feature into the Action Plan for Jobs and the budget and to keep driving it. Our job is to keep lobbying, no matter who is at the helm as Minister. Does the delegation have any further comments?
