I thank all of our viewers who have been watching on UPC on Channel 207. The most important message that we leave today for them is that our public messaging must be positive, we must be united in our response, there is a need for all of us to engage and to talk, and there are organisations available to help. After the meeting, we will put up on the Joint Committee on Health and Children's website the organisations which were here today, plus The Samaritans, and their contact details. It is important that we are united in our messaging and that we engage properly on this. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir.

The committee next meeting, our quarterly meeting with the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, is at 9.30 a.m. on 27 March.
