On behalf of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality, I thank each of the witnesses this morning. I thank Dr. Johnny Connolly from the school of law at the University of Limerick. He is not the first witness from the university to be here as, in recent weeks, one of his colleagues was also before the committee.

I thank Ms Meally and Ms Canning from Foróige. I hope the plug for more funding for Foróige was picked up on. The committee has no spending powers so it can do little other than support the witnesses' appeal.

Thanks also to the witnesses from Muintir na Tíre, Mr. Garvey and Mr. Sweeney, for their input to this session.

The committee hopes to launch its report before the end of November. The committee will let the witnesses know about the launch and, if they are in a position to join, they would all be most welcome back.

I also thank the members for their participation.
