We will certainly invite you back later. The authority was established in 2006 and it has done tremendous work since then. I remember the legislation going through the Houses and at that time there were major concerns about what was happening. Deputy Finian McGrath has alluded to some of that. An enormous amount of work has been done and I am sure that will improve even further under your leadership. I wish you well and thank you for attending this meeting. We will meet you again in the future.

Is it agreed that the committee will inform the Minister that it has concluded its discussion with Mr. Lappin and forward a copy of the transcript of the meeting to the Minister for his information? Agreed.

I wish you success in your new role, Mr. Lappin.
