There are a lot of issues which the committee collectively has come up with that will be referred to committees generally and Departments. Indeed, yesterday evening we raised an issue with the Minister of Education and Skills. He is open to recommendations from this committee in the area of sexual education, etc. We learned yesterday that the curriculum has not been updated since 1999, in the sense that it has not been overhauled. Addendums, or whatever the right phraseology, have been made but we do need to do some work in that space. That has been the predominant theme.
I thank all the witnesses for attending today and for answering questions so carefully and with consideration.
