Chairman:

If any questions from members were not answered, they can forward them to the committee secretariat. The secretariat will sent them to the Department to get them answered. We will then put them up with the minutes of the next meeting. I am going to have to move on because we had a longer, more extensive and robust engagement with the management of Oberstown earlier, and that is why we ran over. We have some private business to get through as well before we finish at 12 noon. We had hoped to discuss the strategy. In any event, the strategy has been circulated to all members. Again, if any members wish to make an input to the Minister directly, then can do so.

I thank the Minister and her officials for their time. I also thank the Minister for her commitment to transparency in the process and for giving us as much information by way of what she sent to us ahead of time. I thank her for the answers she provided as well. It is much appreciated by all of the members of the committee that she is endeavouring to be as open, transparent and helpful as possible. I thank her for her time and I wish her every good luck with the budget negotiations.
