I thank Mr. McDaid. That concludes our first hearing in this series on access to justice and legal costs. On behalf of the committee, I thank Ms Michele O'Boyle and Mr. Ken Murphy from the Law Society of Ireland as well as Mr. Gilhooly, who was with us earlier. From the Bar Council of Ireland, I thank Mr. Conor Dignam, Mr. Seán Ó hUallacháin and Ms Ciara Murphy. From FLAC, we had Ms Eilis Barry and Ms Deirdre Malone. Thank you very much indeed. From the Legal Aid Board we had Mr. Philip O'Leary, Mr. John McDaid and Ms Catherine Ryan, who has probably travelled farthest today. Thank you for making the journey. Without any further ado, I invite you to join us for a photograph outside, if that is okay.

I remind members that at our next meeting we will have Ms Emma DeSouza and others coming before us referencing a very interesting case that she has been involved in.
