I thank Dr. Shannon most sincerely on behalf of everybody on the committee for a most challenging and informative presentation. As a committee, we look forward to engaging with him again in the future. We should not only engage with him in respect of his seventh report but on a regular basis over the coming months and years because it is an invaluable exchange. It was stated by some members here that there is nothing in the report with which we do not agree but it is a matter of trying to articulate that further and increase awareness among people and key decision and policy makers. We are committed to doing whatever we can as a committee to ensure that child protection is at the very top of our Government's agenda and I hope Dr. Shannon will join us in that.
