I thank the witnesses for coming before us. The information they provided was enlightening. I reiterate that there is a need to bring officials from the Department and NewERA before the committee in respect of the accounts of CIE, particularly in the context of the issues raised during our exchanges today. All of the information we requested from our guests would be pertinent and relevant in that regard. In that context, I remind Mr. Barry and Mr. O'Mahony that members are anxious that it would be provided by the relevant Accounting Officers as quickly as possible. Again, I thank them and their officials for coming.

Is it agreed that the committee should dispose of Vote 32 and note the 2011 financial statement for the NRA? Agreed. We will leave chapters 6 and 26 open because the issues involved are not confined to the bodies before us. Is that agreed? Agreed. Is it agreed that we will hold a further hearing in respect of CIE? Agreed.
