There have been very intensive discussions and this is obviously a very important issue. I know Deputy Flaherty is waiting to get in but we are over time. Three or four other Deputies indicated they have more questions to ask. Deputy Browne had to leave to attend another committee. He represents the same part of the country that I represent and I know he is extremely interested in this topic.

If it is okay with the witnesses, I suggest that we reconvene this meeting on Tuesday week, when the committee is due to meet outside the Dáil sitting term, in order to finish the questions to the HRI and the IHRB. I want to be fair. I gave great latitude to members and witnesses during the meeting because this is an extremely important topic and I want it to be fully understood and to give all members an opportunity to contribute. If we were in non-Covid times, we would continue the meeting for another hour or two but we are restricted to two hours because of Covid. I propose that we reconvene on Tuesday week to finish our discussions. Is that acceptable to everyone?
