I thank the Minister, the Secretary General, Mr. Lohan and Mr. Savage for attending the meeting this morning. I wish the Minister and her officials, committee members, the secretariat and those behind the glass window, whom we do not see too often, a very happy Christmas. I thank the staff for their great work during the year. It has been a very long year and I sincerely thank committee members present this morning for their constructive and very affirming involvement. It is fair to say that those here this morning park their party hats at the door and work on many issues concerning children and health. I include Deputy Kelleher, who is not present. I thank all members of the committee, who have had a very long year since early January, for their support and wish them and their families a very happy Christmas. Enjoy the break. It gives me great pleasure to state that we will adjourn until 14 January.
