Thank you. There are no other questions on the Environment Fund. It is proposed that the briefing documents for the committee relating to these Estimates and previous Estimates be published on the committee's website. Is that agreed? Agreed.

I thank the Minister, the Minister of State and the officials for attending this constructive meeting. Given the ongoing engagement on the Estimates process, is it agreed that there should be further engagement between departmental officials and officials of the Houses of the Oireachtas and that the result of the engagement be reported to the committee? Agreed. The committee will be revisiting the Estimates later in the year. That concludes our consideration of the Revised Estimates for Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment.

I remind members that the joint committee will be launching its report on the Prohibition of the Exploration and Extraction of Onshore Petroleum Bill 2016 tomorrow, 12 April, at 11 o'clock in the audio visual room. Committee Stage of the Bill will be taken in this committee early in May after the Easter recess. The committee will also be considering Committee Stages of the Inland Fisheries (Amendment) Bill 2017 and the Minerals Development Bill 2015 in May.
