I thank the guests for attending and particularly Ms McShannon for travelling from London to be with us. The discussion has been very useful and it certainly helped extend our knowledge of the issues facing our diaspora. I thank Dr. Kavanagh for explaining the impact that would have been felt if the system had been place for the last election and answering our questions so thoroughly. This is the last meeting we will have on this subject and the next step is for the committee to draft a report. That will take in all the issues raised not just today but at previous hearings as well. It will be circulated to members prior to discussion and I hope we can have it this side of the recess. I thank our guests for coming along today.
