I thank the speakers. For their benefit I must explain that committee members are not leaving. A vote has been called. We have just lost two Senators but they will try to come back. Sometimes there is a double vote. I say this so the witnesses are aware it is not bad manners on the members' part. Sometimes in Leinster House a lot of people are trying to be in two or three places at the same time.
