I thank all our witnesses for their attendance today, the opening statements and their response to the questions. Deputy Brady clearly indicated that this is part one of a two-part process. We will address the Minister next week. It is very important to be fair and compliment the witnesses on the presentations because while we have the Indecon report, we are looking forward to the future of some sort of new employment service. I do not like to pick out one individual but Ms Fitzgerald indicated very clearly the range of services and the contacts that ILDN and the various companies have at community level. In respect of dealing with people who are long-term unemployed where there are greater barriers, she explained that type of local infrastructure very well.
