I appreciate the witnesses' time and effort, as well as their presentations at the beginning of the meeting.

There is a commonality between the papers that have been presented. It is very clear to the committee what it needs to do in terms of its communications with the various Ministers and the Government overall in moving this forward and being as helpful as we can to ensure that the industry has supports, a roadmap and a future. We will endeavour to do our bit to ensure that is done. I thank the witnesses again for joining us today.

The joint committee will adjourn until 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, 30 March 2021, when we will have a private session meeting on Teams, followed by a meeting in public session at 12:30 p.m., virtually via committee room 3, with representatives from the Irish Music Rights Organisation and from the independent volunteer group Give Us The Night. The latter will take the form of a round-table discussion on the impact of Covid-19 on the entertainment sector.
