That brings us to the natural conclusion of our debate. I thank the Minister and Minister of State most sincerely for their comprehensive presentations and insightful thoughts and ideas, as well as their willingness to soak up suggestions from this committee and our members. We appreciate that. Anything we have brought up is reflective of what we have heard at previous committee meetings. It is important to state that. I thank members for their engagement. It has been a very good and beneficial meeting and I am sure it will inform our work going forward.

We have a very interesting discussion to look forward to at our next meeting with the Federation of Irish Sport, the Ladies Gaelic Football Association, the Camogie Association and the Gaelic Players Association, where we will discuss issues facing women in sport and how to progress the inroads that have been made from the 2020 campaign. There will be great interest in that from the public, from members and from those who will be making presentations.
