The witnesses were very well prepared. I compliment them on coming in and for being here since 10.30 a.m. It is not an easy process. We could have made it much easier had it been approached differently. I thank the witnesses for being here and for giving the information. We are much clearer now on the salaries and everything else, and the structure. We may have other queries, which we will put to Ms Kerins again. The clerk to the committee will contact her about the outstanding information we need. If anything else arises from that, we will speak to Ms Kerins again.

I thank the various Departments and Mr. O'Toole for being here. It was a long day but it is important to deal with this matter. We will return to it in more detail at a later stage.
