I thank Dr. Muldoon and all our other guests. We must wrap up now because a vote will take place in the House soon. It has been an informative meeting, as were the two sessions we held last week. As far as I am aware, we are the first committee on education to consider the matter. It is important that we have agreed to shine a light on it. While there have been some suggestions from members which we will consider in private session, we will consider issuing an interim report and returning to the matter in the autumn, when we will invite further stakeholders to appear before the committee. It is clear there are many issues. We must work together to try to address them and to support children in the school systems.

As there is no other business, the meeting is adjourned.
