I thank all our guests for being with us today both virtually and physically. We very much appreciate it. Some of the queries today were around insurance and other aspects that we can recommend to Government. Witnesses are welcome to submit them in more detail to the committee clerk. I am sure she will circulate them and we will be able to put them into any reports we may submit.

Before we adjourn, I remind members and witnesses to vacate the room immediately in order to allow for the sanitisation of the room. The meeting is adjourned until 1 p.m. Wednesday, 16 December 2020 for a private meeting on Teams, followed by a meeting of the joint committee in public session at 2 p.m. at which representatives from Virgin Media Ireland and TG4 will discuss challenges facing the broadcasting media sector as a result of Covid-19. This will be followed by a session with representatives from Local Ireland and Newsbrands Ireland on the challenges facing national and regional newspapers also as a result of context of Covid-19.
