I genuinely and sincerely thank Mr. Christie of the ASTI, Mr. Boyle of the INTO, Mr. Pike of Fórsa and Mr. Gillespie of the TUI. I ask that they bring a message back to their members that this committee thanks all the principals and staff for the work they have done over the past number of months by keeping schools open in a very safe manner. I know there are many challenges and I hope the Department and the Ministers will listen to the witnesses' concerns about these challenges, which they highlighted today.

The meeting is adjourned until 11.30 a.m. on Thursday, 26 November 2020 when we will resume discussion on this topic with the Irish Second-Level Students' Union, the National Parents' Council Primary and the National Parents' Council Post Primary.
