This meeting has been an opportunity. In the days immediately after the announcement, there was a considerable amount of quick or emotive reaction. Today's proceedings gave the witnesses the chance to articulate the rationale behind the announcement. It also gave members the opportunity to convey the concerns and I believe this also will inform the GAA in three years' time. Consequently, this has been a useful exercise. I also note the witnesses readily agreed to appear before the joint committee on receipt of the first communication therefrom, for which I thank them. I wish them well in the season ahead, as well as all the counties, wherever members may be from.
In the absence of other business, is it agreed to adjourn until 9.30 a.m. tomorrow, when representatives of the Garda Síochána will appear before the committee regarding prosecutions in respect of the Go Safe speed detection vehicles? Agreed. Tomorrow's meeting will be on a slightly different topic.
