I thank our two witnesses most sincerely, not just for their evidence this evening, but for everything they have done. They have spent a large amount of time away from their families working on behalf of women like me, my daughter and people who use the service and want, need and deserve to have confidence in it. We can say "Thanks" for everything the witnesses have done, but that is clearly not enough. They are here doing that work, so they are clearly not at home with their families. For that, they are to be commended.

I had not intended to ask this question, but the matter has been raised. Despite the assurances given by the Taoiseach and the Minister, has the €2,000 ex gratiapayment been paid yet?
