I thank everybody for their contributions today, including Deputies Jan O'Sullivan and Mick Barry, who attended the meeting in respect of their own Bill. I thank the witnesses from the RTB for coming before us for a second time in a fortnight. If the Minister has his way, they might be in again in a fortnight or three weeks' time. This is an area of significant concern to everybody around the table. The committee has given the Government a commitment that we will work with it with regard to its Bill. While we would all like our own Bill to go through, the political reality is that the only Bill that will actually get across the line is probably the Minister's Bill. It is in all our interests to work with the Minister and we did so in private session last week. I thank the witnesses for appearing before us today and I apologise for the delay. We could probably spend another hour with them but we just do not have that time today. I thank the representatives from the RTB for attending today and engaging with the committee.
