Thank you Mr. Lacey. I am going to conclude but I want to make clear that we will write that letter seeking recognition of deaf-blindness. We will also send a transcript of today's meeting to the Minister for Health, Deputy Varadkar, and to the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch.

Together with the group, we will try to work through their issues concerning social welfare, legislation and the proper provision of hearing aids. Have I left anything out?
