Go raibh míle maith agaibh. Cuirfear clabhsúr anois leis an díospóireacht. I thank the witnesses very much for what has been a constructive and productive discussion. I will not say that we have achieved major things, but I think we are all pretty practical in that regard. I hope there will be a continuing interaction, including the offer Ms Huws made of speaking to relevant Ministers here. That would be progress. In addition, the documents that Ms Huws is sending to Senator Trevor Ó Clochartaigh and Senator Jim D'Arcy are important.

Perhaps language bodies here, such as Conradh na Gaeilge, that are always at the coalface in delivering on the Irish language, can strengthen their relationship with Wales and learn from that.
