I welcome the Minister of State and her colleagues and I agree very much with Senator Leyden's comments about the importance of our relationship with Britain, which goes back to the foundation of the State. It includes cultural, social and business ties. I know BIPA intends to strengthen those relations but it is important that this committee should play its part, as it has done. The relationship with our British counterparts is vital, and we are organising some visits. I thank the Minister of State for her comprehensive overview. We look forward to keeping in touch.
