I acknowledge the submission made by the Disability Federation of Ireland. It is very comprehensive and we very much appreciate it. A number of members of the committee were not able to be here this morning because the meeting clashes with other committees. That is an issue we are all grappling with. It is very unsatisfactory and the issue must be dealt with separately. I thank the delegation for coming along this morning, giving a very full presentation and answering our questions. We very much appreciate the input to the committee. That will certainly be reflected in our final report.
