I thank Deputy Mitchell. Before I go back to the witnesses to respond, I will offer a comment to Mr. Donohoe. He referred to the pensions issue. It comes under a separate module but this committee is engaged on the question. I do not intend to go down that road today but it is a separate block of work that the committee is examining. Mr. Donohoe raised several issues in terms of the age when people finish work, associated pensions and so forth. All of these will be addressed. It is not specific and we may well revert to you in due course on the matter.

Several issues were raised by Senator Humphreys and Deputy Mitchell. Will Ms O'Brien address these first? We will then hear concluding remarks from all our witnesses.
