I will conclude this session by thanking Mr. Ian Talbot, Mr. Seán Murphy and Mr. Mark O'Mahoney for their presentation and their interaction on the questions. As they are aware, the joint committee is undertaking a process that also will feed into the Action Plan for Jobs and I welcome the departmental officials who are present. We intend that our report, for which Deputy Lyons is a rapporteur, will have a list of recommendations that then will go into the forum to be decided on and acted on by the Government as well. Members hope this will help to generate solutions that will help to recover those jobs that were lost, as well as the jobs we wish to win. I share Mr. Seán Murphy's belief that there are thousands of jobs that can be won if we put our efforts into so doing. I again thank the witnesses for their time and their presentation. We will link back with them over the next couple of months as we compile a report, which I appreciate.
