On behalf of the joint committee I thank Commissioner Stylianides for his presentation and his interaction with members. The worries and concerns expressed by members today are indicative of the views shared by Irish society in general. I hope he will be able to bring our worries and concerns to the attention of his fellow Commissioners. Let me emphasise they are reflective of the views of the Irish people on the need for an adequate global response to meet the major humanitarian crises throughout the world. Moreover, an adequate response is needed immediately; not down the road.

I thank the Commissioner for his participation in today's meeting. We wish him well in meeting the significant challenges in the very important work he undertakes.
