I thank our guests for those inspiring presentations. I am familiar with Ms Gallagher's terrific work. She was right to make a point about intangible outcomes. There will be a tangible outcome in terms of the number of women running for election in 2014. Measuring the impact of any one organisation on that outcome will be difficult, but Ms Gallagher's organisation is tackling one of the key obstacles to women's progress. All of the research that anyone involved in this area has done shows this to be the case. It is a tribute to Social Entrepreneurs Ireland that it saw the potential in Women for Election's work. I just wanted to make that comment and do not have a question for our guests.
