I do not mean it in a flippant manner. Dr. Cassidy covered a wide variety of issues within the general remit of the Central Bank and beyond. We are extremely appreciative of his appearance and ongoing work in the past few years. It has been a difficult few years leading into perhaps even more difficult years. Our gratitude to everyone in the Central Bank is heartfelt. The conclusions our guests will provide for us are vital in our ongoing work and awareness of what the country is facing into. It seems that, as a society, perhaps because of the 24-hour rolling news cycle, we come in and out of paying attention to what exactly might be looming on 31 October. It is important that all sectors of society, particularly economically, be aware of what could be around the corner and that they make the necessary recommended preparations. I appreciate Mr. Cassidy's frankness. His presence will be a great asset in the committee's work.
