I thank Ms Quill and Senator Warfield. Given that no other members are offering, I sincerely thank Ms Quill and Mr. Shanley for their very insightful presentation and the scrutiny with which she assisted us in delving into the commission. Their help with that is deeply appreciated by me and the committee members. I thank members for joining us remotely. I know some had to travel a very long distance to be with us. I think of Deputies Christopher O'Sullivan and Brendan Griffin in that regard. It is great to have everybody here and to be able to proceed. The contribution of the witnesses has greatly assisted the committee in the work it has to do.

I will now conclude today's business. We will next meet on Tuesday, 20 April at 3.30 p.m., when we will be joined by the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Deputy Catherine Martin, and the Minister of State at her Department, Deputy Jack Chambers. We look forward to having another robust discussion and debate with them on the same topics.
