It is time to put on your dinner jackets, since it is nearly 6 p.m., never mind your bowler hats. With that said I will bring matters to a conclusion. I thank Mr. Carrigan, Mr. Brennan, Mr. McDermott, Ms Cully and Mr. Gilvarry for their contributions. It is a little like Star Trek in that we boldly go where no one has gone before. Certainly, it has been one of the more complex issues I have dealt with as Chairman of the Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform. I appreciate the contributions and the information given to the committee this afternoon.

I propose that a draft political contribution on the issue should go to the Minister and the EU institutions, subject to the agreement of the committee, when we wrap it up. There were various contributions today and we should compile them and then conclude our engagement on the matter. Is that agreed? Agreed.
