I commend the witnesses. This has been a good debate. It is a pity that it is not being held in the Dáil Chamber, as many ideas have been floated at this meeting. All politicians agree that older people's trump card is the power of voting. Every Deputy is conscious of the fact that many older people are guaranteed to use that power. As their representatives, the witnesses should encourage it because they are an important part of the democratic process and can use their clout to push the issues for which the witnesses are fighting. We will listen.
