On a brief note in advance of next week's meeting, many of the issues which were touched upon today can be covered in more depth once the legal experts are before us. As a suggestion, it might be a good idea for me and perhaps others to review Brian Murray's paper in advance of that meeting because there are a lot of nuances in that paper that might be worth exploring. Others may have read it recently but it is a few weeks since I have read it, and it might be a good exercise to re-familiarise ourselves with his paper in advance of next week's meeting.

I again thank Ms Justice Laffoy, Ms Finegan and Ms Hynes for attending today and for their careful answering of all of our questions. We appreciate their attendance.
