We all concur. For the Tánaiste's information, the committee recently decided to send two members to attend the meeting hosted by the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, LIBE, Committee of the European Parliament last Monday. I was one of those dispatched to engage with colleague representatives from the other 27 member parliamentary establishments. The committee addressed the establishment of a joint parliamentary scrutiny group for Europol. I expect that what we are discussing is within that overall context, namely, developing the interrelationships the Tánaiste indicated. We will write a short report for the committee in the coming week.
On behalf of the committee, I thank the Tánaiste for her attendance and engagement with members. I also thank her officials. We will adjourn until 9 a.m. tomorrow when we will consider Committee Stage of the Courts Bill 2016 and the Tánaiste will no doubt be joining us.
