Super. Thank you.

We are very proud of all your achievements and of the whole team that went out. It is good to get the feedback in terms of your experiences and that it is an experience that will stay with you for the rest of their lives. It is phenomenal to up one's skills and compete on a world stage. I was reading the newspaper this morning and I saw that Aisling Rock from Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, GMIT, was named European Young Chef on Monday in Barcelona. I think it is worth mentioning here. This committee has put a great deal of emphasis on the whole area of skills and apprenticeships. We are doing our best to encourage young people to take up those options. We wish the witnesses very well.

I call Deputy Martin.
