Senator van Turnhout made a proposal regarding revisiting these measures in six months. We will discuss that on Thursday morning. In principle, we agree with the proposal.

I thank everybody for attending. I apologise for keeping everybody here until 8 p.m. but this was a very important discussion. It is important that committee members reassure parents and guardians that we have a very good child care system, a Minister who is very much concerned about bringing about change and officials who are responsible and accountable. There is a need for change, and this will happen. I compliment RTE on its programme. The exposé was required. The committee will revisit this matter on Thursday morning.
