Chairman:

I thank the witnesses for appearing before the joint committee for this very useful and informative session. To respond briefly to Ms King's final comments, the committee is trying to obtain the views of all organisations that play a role in the areas of jobs, enterprise and innovation.

Today, for example, we had the Centre for Cross Border Studies, the Institute of International and European Affairs, the ESRI, ICTU, NERI and the INOU. We feel as a committee that it is important that we invite representatives from every sector because that will be only way we can compile a report to see how we move forward on Brexit. We are dealing with the unknown and that is what is coming across in presentations. We do not know what is coming down the line but it is most important that we hear representations from every group. I thank the witnesses for coming in.
