That is well said. I noted that Ireland hosted the WorldSkills Competition in 1963 and 1979. I think it is about time that we hosted one again. I wonder if there are any plans to do that because, as my colleagues have said, the ambassadors we have here set an example. It is a great news story. We do not always have the opportunity to have good news stories in the Dáil or in this committee, so it is wonderful to be able to celebrate the witnesses' incredible achievements with them.

Regarding the questions that have been asked, I am happy to go back to any of the witnesses who may indicate. I know there was one particular one to Ms Leahy. We will not focus on her straightaway if she wants time to think about a response. If witnesses want to respond to any of the queries, I will call on them if they raise their hand. I call Mr. Farrelly.
