I thank the witnesses for their time. We have almost finished this piece of work, although we will be doing some other visits. We will also invite representatives of the Cornmarket Project in Wexford to meet with us. They are quietly doing some impressive work down there, which is unheralded. I visited them with the Minister and was impressed with what they are doing.

I wish to thank the witnesses again for their attendance here today. They have a wealth of experience and knowledge in this area and we are grateful for their time and effort. We will do our best to ensure that this report will not gather dust on a shelf. We will push this matter as hard as we can to do some of the things the witnesses have suggested. Their contributions have been important to the process. I thank them on behalf of the members of the sub-committee and the Joint Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality.
