On behalf of all the committee Chairs, I thank the Taoiseach for taking the time to attend this morning's meeting and for answering a vast range of questions on a wide range of public policies in such a detailed manner. I thank all the committee Chairs for their assistance in putting today's meeting together and for their co-operation in the structure of the meeting. I thank Elaine and Charles for all the work that went into making today go so smoothly. Our intention is that this engagement will be a standard feature of the parliamentary calendar and should be scheduled for early in the spring and autumn sessions as a matter of course. Each of these meetings will afford the Taoiseach of the day an opportunity to set out the Government's plans, policies and priorities for the forthcoming session. I look forward to the Taoiseach's next engagement with the working group, which will take place later this year. I thank the Taoiseach and Mr. Fraser for their attendance today. I look forward to our ongoing engagement with them.
