I do not think there are any further questions. In looking back over the different documents and information, I am reminded of a remark made by the former Secretary General of the Department, Mr. Noel Waters, regarding Mr. Tyndall's findings. He stated that the Ombudsman's adverse findings demonstrated "a fundamental misunderstanding of the scheme" on the part of the Ombudsman. I would hope that nobody would have any fundamental misunderstanding of where this committee stands on this issue and how we intend to pursue it.
I thank Mr. Tyndall, Ms McCrum and Mr. Morgan and our earlier presenters from the Department. I thank them all for their patience. Finally, I would once again like to say "Well done" to Lyndsey and wish her good luck for the future. God bless.
