I apologise again for members having to leave to vote. Unfortunately, given the nature of our business it happens regularly. I thank Ms Justice Laffoy for being here today. She is no stranger to committees. Deputy Neville and I were members of the climate change committee which she appeared before on several occasions. I thank her for all of her time. I also thank all of the other witnesses for giving of their time to be here today to deal with the pre-legislative scrutiny of the general scheme of the Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Bill 2018, which is an important body of work for the committee. We are only at pre-legislative stage but it will come back to us again. We want to try to make it as robust as possible such that the mistakes of the past are learned.
