That was a worthy intervention from Deputy Sherlock because it is something which ultimately affects 50,000 members. It is important for us, as a committee, to be able to stand over the information that comes to us from a variety of sources. On behalf of the members I wish Mr. Rabbitte all the very best in his new role and thank him for coming before the committee. The meeting of the committee is adjourned until Wednesday, 13 March at 10 a.m., when the committee will meet with the Irish Foster Care Association and the Irish Association of Social Workers to discuss the recruitment and retention of social workers. Members are reminded that the select committee will meet on Wednesday, 6 March at 4.30 p.m. to discuss the Revised Estimates for 2019 in respect of Vote 40 - Children and Youth Affairs with the Minister.
