If our witnesses wish to respond to the Deputy, they can send a note by email or by letter directly to him.

If you wish to communicate further with any of us you may do so through the clerk of the committee who will make sure we get it. Our difficulty now is that our time has expired. I thank Mr. Carlin, Mr. de Faoite, Ms Eastwood, Ms Groogan and Mr. Hughes for their excellent contributions. You have renewed our hope in the next generation. Your capacity, interest and dedication is clear to all of us. I look forward to further discussions when we visit the North and when you visit us again in this forum, the Dáil and the Oireachtas.

The meeting is adjourned until 9.30 a.m. on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 when we will meet Ms Anna Mercer, public affairs consultant, Stratagem and Professor Jon Tonge, professor of politics, University of Liverpool, to discuss the review of the Good Friday Agreement, institutional reform, the exploration of issues, including designation, petitions of concern, challenged function to the Executive and other ways to accommodate constitutional position and other relevant topics. Following the public meeting on Tuesday, which will end at 11.30 a.m., it is proposed to hold a private meeting, commencing at 12 noon, to deal with urgent business of an administrative, not political, nature, and in respect of legal advice as well. Members do not have to be on campus to attend this meeting.

I thank members for their presence today, which I hope has brought us good ideas and confidence in the future.
