We will review today's presentation and discuss if there is a role we can play in that regard. I thank Ms Mooney, Mr. Maher, Ms Bromley, Ms Browne, Mr. Kennedy, Ms McGeough and Mr. Landy for appearing before the committee. It has been a very enlightening, challenging and moving experience. I thank them for sharing their stories and more importantly for creating awareness and highlighting the issues. We have a number of action points to take from this morning's meeting. The members of the committee understand this is a key issue for all the witnesses, which is why we called them in. We could fill this committee room for the next two years with other groups who have requested to come in. However, we wanted to give today's witnesses the space to come here to make their presentations.

I acknowledge the work of Deputy Deering, in particular, for his role and also Deputy Ann Ferris. I also acknowledge that Deputy Ó Caoláin has been working in the background. I again thank the witnesses for coming in and ask them to continue to keep in contact with us.
