I thank Dr. Hyland. This has been a very lively discussion and incredibly informative. It has been inspirational and has shown us the reality on the ground, about what is and is not happening. I thank the witnesses Anne, Gene, Noreen, Pauline, Breda, Teresa, Madelaine, Áine and Deirbhile. I thank Éilis Dillon, chairperson of NABMSE, and Trevor and Deirdre from Marino Institute of Education. I also thank colleagues of mine who are parents who are concerned about places and opportunities for their own children, that is, Christine, Teresa, Claire, Ger, Sinead and Kevin.

We will now adjourn. Tomorrow, the select committee will deal with pre-legislative scrutiny relating to the Education (Admission to Schools) Bill.
