I thank Mr. Clark for attending and his presentation which was very comprehensive. As I said, this is a new step for the committee which is very important in terms of transparency and public confidence in the State appointments process. It is very reassuring to see in Mr. Clark's presentation how much experience he has in the field of qualifications and assurance and lifelong learning. We will talk to him in the future when we hold meetings relevant to the brief of the authority. I ask the committee for its agreement that we inform the Minister for Education and Skills that we have concluded our discussions with Mr. Clark and that we forward a copy of the transcript of the meeting to the Minister for his information. Is that agreed? Agreed.
