I thank our guests for their comprehensive replies to the significant issues raised. Members of the committee should note that many of the issues raised today relate to our work programme. I thank Ms Feely of Age Action Ireland and Ms Fahey of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul for attending, for their presentations and for their informative replies. The research they submit will become part of our future work.

I remind colleagues that on Thursday morning we will visit the Department of Social Protection with officials.
