Senator Colm Burke absented himself from this session this afternoon and I thank him for doing so. He did not have to do so, but he did it.

We have had over 11 hours of discussion and I propose that we adjourn. Before doing so, I apologise to the ushers, stenographers, sound and secretarial staff for keeping them longer than the prescribed time. We thank them for their patience and work. I formally thank the witnesses, Dr. Gerard Burke, Dr. Mary McCaffrey, Dr. Máire Milner and Dr. John Monaghan for their testimony and presence today.
