I thank everybody for their time. We have been here for more than three and a half hours and had a good discussion today. Issues were raised that we will be pursuing with the relevant agencies and Departments and we will respond to the affected parties at a later date. Everyone in attendance today is here for the right reasons and the issue of safety is the heart of the matter. Contributions from witnesses are important for this committee. What we are trying to do, apart from addressing pressing matters like the NCT, is to put together a broad range of proposals on how we can improve road safety in general. Every single life saved is a massive achievement and every single life lost is one too many. I thank everyone for their contribution to this effort. I propose that we suspend the meeting for a few minutes before moving on to the motion on Bus Éireann.
