I thank members for their participation in this section of the meeting. The second section of the meeting will follow immediately. I thank Dr. Murphy, Ms Wall and, in particular, Ms Daly, who was a huge advocate of the establishment of this organisation and who travelled around the country in her advocacy role while publicising the publication of the book. It is important to recognise the work she does on a voluntary basis. I thank her for being here. I also thank Dr. Murphy and Ms Wall. Today's meeting has been a valuable exercise. As a result of this discussion, the committee will follow up the transportation issue with the Department of Health and the HSE. I remind members that the delegation from Dáil na nÓg that will address the committee shortly has prepared assiduously for this meeting. If members could wait for the delegation to arrive, it would be appreciated.
