On behalf of the joint committee, I thank Commissioner O'Sullivan, Deputy Commissioner Ó Cualáin, Deputy Commissioner Twomey, Assistant Commissioner Finn, Mr. Nugent and their colleagues to the rear and in the Gallery for their attendance at this morning's meeting. I thank the members of the committee for their attendance. There has been a full attendance, which is a surprise. I would like to see that every day. I think the detailed and incisive exchange we have had has been very useful. I offer a sincere "go raibh maith agat" to everyone who has contributed. Before I adjourn the meeting, I would like to notify members that it had been planned to continue this meeting in private session, but that is no longer the intention. I will notify members through the secretariat of the plan to reconvene the joint committee next Tuesday, 4 April, to address the issues that have been highlighted here today. At that meeting, members will have an opportunity to express their views, consider any collective action we may wish to take as a committee and decide whether we wish to enter into any correspondence. Committee Room 3 is available on Tuesday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. We will endeavour to establish the appropriate time. We will notify members to that effect before the day is out. Is that agreed?
