I wish to emphasise that as Mr. Loftus said, because the Minister is in the Dáil with members of this committee it has clashed with today's meeting. I apologise because, as Chairman, I did not foresee that. I wished to explain that situation.

We will put the two suggestions on our agenda for meetings in the coming session - both the patronage issue and the schools value-for-money report.

I wish to thank everybody for attending this meeting. We will now adjourn until 10 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 July 2013 when we will deal with the Department of Social Protection budget.
