Ba mhaith liom fíorbhuíochas a ghabháil leis an gCathaoirleach agus le gach Teachta atá ar an gcoiste as an tsárobair a rinne siad. Ba dhíospóireacht úsáideach agus thábhachtach é. Táim ag súil go mór lenár n-obair bhreise a dhéanamh sa Dáil. I wish to thank the members of the committee for their work and attention to detail. It has been a useful and important debate. While we have disagreed on aspects of it, there is a concerted view among all of us that we need to utilise State lands better for the good of our people and to make land that has been lying unproductive productive for one of the most basic requirements, namely, to provide homes for our people. This has been a significant step forward.

I wish to thank the Chairman, the committee staff and my own team. It is a different type of committee hearing. We are all in different rooms and have to come to the committee room for votes. However, I think the process has been most efficient. That is down to the Chairman's stewardship of it. I look forward to the next stage and the remaining work that we need to do in the Dáil and the Seanad. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
