On behalf of the committee, I thank the witnesses for attending and for their presentation. Having listened to the committee members, there is clear support for the charter. The next question is how we can move it forward. The witnesses have asked members to talk to other Oireachtas Members and those beyond that to try to encourage this process. We all agree dialogue is the way forward. If we disagree with someone, the only way to change that person's point of view is to talk to them. One of the successes of our committee has been when we have gone out to those communities who feel left behind post ceasefire and post peace agreement. We have engaged with them both publicly and quietly, and that is one of the success of the committee. We intend to engage further. If there are organisations and groups the witnesses feel it would be useful for this committee to meet, they should pass on that information. We greatly appreciate their attendance today and their presentation.
