I thank the witnesses for coming in today. I am delighted to have Professor McWilliams here. It has been an informative discussion which has helped us in terms of our views on how best to introduce a bill of rights. The technical expertise could be valuable in terms of getting politicians from different parties into the room to deal with an issue that sometimes can be technical and legalistic.

On the issue of funding, we will be happy to write to the various Departments to see if we can secure funding for the valuable work the witnesses do.

The joint committee absolutely is trying to implement all aspects of the Good Friday Agreement and a human rights Bill for Northern Ireland is necessary. Members thank the witnesses and look forward to seeing them again.
