I thank Professor Kennedy. I am sorry for cutting the meeting short. I thank Professor Nicholas Kennedy, Ms Gráinne Denning, Dr. Patrick Doorley and Ms Richelle Flanagan for attending the meeting and for the information provided. I look forward to receiving the booklet from Ms Gráinne Denning. We will take it upon ourselves to make that information available to people in our constituency offices and to highlight today's meeting via our Facebook and Twitter pages to draw attention to the organisation. I thank the witnesses for their time and their work. We wish Dr. Patrick Doorley well in his meeting with the HSE and all the representatives with their plans for an outreach worker. Given the issues raised it appears such a person is needed and would benefit all of those who live daily with coeliac disease and, perhaps, for the promotion and knowledge around the issue. The meeting will be suspended to enable the witnesses for the next session to take their seats.
