That is something we will bear in mind in our recommendations and report.

I thank all the deputations for their valuable time and contributions. It was an interesting and informative debate. The deputations have given us much to think about. We have heard important information from the point of view of the lived experience as well as the practical side of things in order to make our report and recommendations to the Minister.

I thank Mr. Harris, Ms Dempsey, Ms Corr, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Curtis and Ms Griffin. I wish to acknowledge Ms Susan Carpenter, from CPSMA, Ms Geraldine Graydon, from the Special Needs Parents Association, Ms Deirdre Matthews, from the joint managerial body, Mr. Daniel O'Driscoll and Mr. Gaibhin McGranaghan, from AsIAm, and Alan Flattery, from NCSE, in the Public Gallery. We appreciate your time and interest. This is something the committee has spoken about on several levels. We really appreciate the opportunity to get information, to listen to you and your written submissions. We would appreciate also anything else you wish to forward to us afterwards.
