We have reached our allocated time and I know other witnesses want to make points. On behalf of the committee, I thank all of the witnesses for putting forward their views and concerns about the legislation. I know the organisations are extremely concerned and this matter, on top of Brexit, is putting the industry under extreme pressure.

We have listened intently to what the witnesses have said here today. I know the Deputies and Senators, especially those in the constituencies where the industry is very important, will bring their issues to the Dáil and the Seanad in the next couple of weeks. I hope today's meeting was beneficial to the organisations. I know that they will lobby us continually to secure a resolution of the issues facing the industry.

I propose that we suspend the meeting for 15 minutes and resume in private session using MS Teams at 5.45 p.m.
