In fairness to the Minister in his absence, he asked for alternative suggestions and, therefore, we need to see if we can come up with a form of dialogue if that is to be the case but we will not promise that we will end up with that. I thank everyone for their contributions. While there are reasons, which were explained in correspondence, this process did not take place such as the PAC hearings, which deterred us from engaging in it, there was never an unwillingness on the part of any committee member or Oireachtas Member to have the industry fully discussed in an open forum. I hope the witnesses accept that and that we facilitated their request for an earlier slot in order that people can return home. The IGB will appear before us with the benefit of hearing the contributions during the previous two sessions and can prepare some responses to them. I thank everyone very much.
