In the context of the Senator's closing remarks, we have not been blocked. This is the last committee at which that would ever happen. We have had the opportunity to fulsomely address the issue. The Senator stated that we have not heard the last of her. Reflecting on the fact that every member of the committee in attendance has recorded his or her support, I believe it is the case that we will be heard in every way that we can, going forward in support of the Bill. On behalf of the Joint Committee on Justice and Equality, I commend Senators Kelleher and Black and all the co-sponsors of the Bill. I thank the Irish Refugee Council and our long-standing friends in Nasc Ireland for travelling all the way here. Deputy Ó Laoghaire was getting homesick and wanted people with Cork accents here. I thank Senator Ruane, who has just joined us, and say "Well done" to her. The Senators have all our support in progressing the Bill. Without any further ado, on behalf of the committee, I thank all those present for their contributions.
