We appreciate that. I thank the witnesses on behalf of the committee for their contributions, their insightful responses and very comprehensive opening statement, which is helpful to our work in preparing our report.
The committee will not meet next week as we will all be getting ready to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Our next meeting will be on 22 March, when we will meet the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice and the Irish Prison Officers Association. That will be followed a week later by our discussion, at the request of Senator Black, with the Simon Community.
We invite the witnesses to join us for a photograph. This is not just a memento - although Deputy Wallace is collecting them for his mantelpiece - it is for the report which we look forward to concluding in the coming weeks.
