Thank you very much, Ms Hunt. I thank you for your participation with the inquiry today. It has added informative and valuable information to our meeting and has added to our understanding of the factors leading to the crisis in Ireland.

I would also like to note that today is the last of the Context Phase hearings, the objective of which were to frame the broad context for the inquiry, set out the background for the banking crisis and prepare the ground for the further public hearings after Easter. We will commence the Nexus Phase hearings starting with witnesses from NAMA and AIB on 22 and 23 April, respectively. I would like to thank Ms Hunt for her assistance today, and also Mr. Moran.

With that I would like to now suspend briefly so we can go into private session to deal with one matter, to excuse the witness and to clear the Gallery.
