the Deputy has covered all of the ground. As such, I repeat my thanks and that of the committee to the witnesses for attending to deal with some of the personal issues that face their businesses and families. It is not easy. I am from a small business background and understand full well how board meetings take place on the pillow at night and that is the way it is done. To suffer a setback like this is not easy to recover from. We will do everything in our power to assist the witnesses in every way we can. I suggest that when we meet next Tuesday at 2 p.m., we prioritise our consideration of this matter and, in the meantime, set in train all of the suggestions which have been made here. That will determine what steps we need to take as a committee and the steps the witnesses need to take. If it is necessary to come back to the witnesses again, we will. That is with the agreement of the commitment. Is that agreed? Agreed. I thank the witnesses again and those who travelled to be here in the Public Gallery.
