I thank Mr. Dunne. On behalf of the joint committee and myself as Acting Chairman, I thank Mr. Stephen Watkins, Mr. Conor O'Brien, Mr. Maurice Priestley, Mr. Gary Dunne and Mr. Ronan Mulligan for their contributions, their papers submitted in advance, their open and honest opening statements and their highly involved discussions with all the joint committee's members. Equally, I thank all the members who were present earlier and Senator Conway-Walsh who has remained here with me right to the end. At almost two and three quarter hours, this possibly has been the longest continuous session members have had. This is a credit to the witnesses, the amount of information they possess and their knowledge of their areas. The other members and I certainly appreciate it and I again thank the witnesses. That concludes the hearings for today and the joint committee is adjourned until 11 a.m. tomorrow.
