Vice Chairman:

That would be welcome and we will circulate it to the members.

On behalf of the committee I thank Mr. Muiris O'Connor, Ms Kathleen Mac Lellan, Mr. Kieran Smyth, Ms Bernadette Ryan, Mr. Peter Lennon and Ms Louise Kenny for their valuable contributions and insights. Following this engagement and our upcoming engagement with the Health Information and Quality Authority and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner the committee will present its views on the draft legislation, which will be informed by these engagements, to the Minister.

We will now suspend for a couple of minutes to allow the witnesses leave and the representatives of HIQA and the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner to take their seats. Is that agreed? Agreed.
