I thank Ms Brown. She has provided us with tremendous insight, which is important. Perhaps this is the start of the conversation. If we are in the north west, we will take up her very kind invitation. I commend our guests on their work. They are strong advocates not just for women but also in respect of other matters, such as supporting families and communities.

Ultimately, they are helping to rebuild Northern Ireland and to create a vision for a new Northern Ireland. We wish them well in their work. On the issue of human trafficking, Committee D of the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly, chaired by Lord Dubs, is focusing on that matter at present and is taking submissions on it from various groups. If the witnesses are interested in getting in touch with that committee, the clerk to this committee will facilitate them.

Again, I thank the witness for attending this meeting. The committee will now meet in private session and we must vacate the room within 20 minutes.
