Long may that last. We desperately need NGOs in this country to protect people's rights.

I cannot thank the witnesses enough for their presentations, which have been immensely helpful to our work. We will take three actions. We will write to the RIA and the Minister of State, Deputy Ó Ríordáin, regarding the Mount Trenchard matter and we will request access for the NGOs to their work. We will seek urgent clarification on that matter. We will visit two centres and we may reserve the right to visit Mount Trenchard. We also send a transcript of the full hearing to the Minister of State and the independent working group.
