I am grateful for the clarification because that is where my head would be in that regard. We are almost at an end. I know the full membership of the committee is not present but we do not want to lose into the ether all that the witnesses have shared with us or for us to be the only people to go off with this enhanced knowledge and awareness. Perhaps members of the committee might indicate to one another their comfort factor with preparing a short report based on all we have learned here today. We would then present it to the Taoiseach and to the Tánaiste, Deputy Coveney, who is the lead in terms of his role, in order that we do not lose the important information the witnesses have shared, that it can have further legs and that we will be able to continue with it. Would people be broadly in agreement with that? Yes. I appreciate that very much indeed.

It only remains for me, on behalf of the committee, to again thank Professor Colin Harvey for his attendance here today. I also thank Mr. Brian Gormally of the Committee on the Administration of Justice for his contribution and his engagement with members. I thank the representatives of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission, Mr. Les Allamby and Mr. Colin Caughey, and their counterparts from south of the Border, Ms Emily Logan and Dr. Ruth Gallagher. Long may they continue to work in a joint relationship. We hope that we will have the opportunity as a committee to welcome them back at some point in the future.
