I thank the witnesses for their presentations. As a teacher for 12 years, I could identify with many of their observations, especially in terms of the workload and paperwork. It is pragmatic that we look at the implications such a Bill may have in terms of legal costs for the Exchequer at a time when things are very frail and when our schools badly need resources that have been withdrawn from them. I agree with all of those points and I thank the witnesses again.
