I thank the Chairman. I hope both the Tánaiste and I will be in a position in the very near future to see the level of unemployment fall below the magic 6% figure. A rate of 5.8% or 5.9% would be a sign of the success of the policies of the Government, not to mention the role played by this committee in the work it has been doing. There are many challenges, particularly in the context of Brexit, which I am sure the committee has discussed, but there are opportunities, too, of which we should always try to avail.
