That concludes our discussion but if anybody wants to send in further written statements, we will be happy to circulate them.

I thank all the witnesses for coming today, making very valuable contributions and sharing their thoughts on this important issue. We will be compiling recommendations and making a report which we will forward to the Minister for Education and Skills. We will take on board the views that were firmly expressed about having an interdepartmental approach to the issues identified. We agree with that.

I ask the members to stay on as we have to return to No. 2 on the agenda, namely, dealing with correspondence and other issues.
