I thank Mr. Fearon, Mr. Prendergast, Mr. Sweeney and Ms Drennan. Their presentation was very practical and informative and we can all relate to it. It is important to state the questions asked by committee members were genuine. It is clear a number of committee members are actively pursuing solutions to the issues faced daily by the witnesses and their members. The appearance of the witnesses before the committee has been a chance for their voices to be heard here. We have also been travelling throughout the country to hear about issues about the black economy. I assure the witnesses that committee members from all parties are working on the issues they face. Politics is about the art of delivery so let us see some delivery on some of these issues.
