I thank Ms Kunene. It leaves me with nothing further to do this afternoon but to thank very sincerely Mr. Henderson and Ms Hennigan from the Irish Refugee Council. They have been with us before. I thank Mr. Khambule, Mr. Mfaco, Ms Vuma, Ms Ndlovu, Ms Kunene, Mr. Sibanda and Ms Leonard. Ms Leonard had an opportunity to be quiet this morning but she was well represented in all the contributions we heard. We thank the witnesses and wish them peace and success in their lives. Those of us here are very much part of what we are proud to describe as "Ireland of the welcomes". We believe it, and we want to live that with the witnesses.
I thank my committee colleagues for their participation today. I invite all the delegates for a group photograph outside as a record of our morning's work. We hope to have them back when we finally publish our report some time in the autumn.
