I thank all of the witnesses, Fionn, James, Owen, Fiona and Jonathan, for their contributions. I thank the members of the committee. We are being empowered on a weekly basis by the evidence being brought by the witnesses to us and the engagement that is happening. It is driving the committee on to try to do better and to make sure we are doing the best we can to advance their causes.

There is an ongoing review by the HSE on the development of personal assistant services. We should take the evidence that has been given today, compile it and send it onto the HSE. We will consider that in our private meeting next week.

I again thank the witnesses for empowering us and for their evidence. We look forward to further engagement on other issues. I extend our sincere thanks for changing the time of the meeting to 9.30 a.m. It is greatly appreciated, given the movable feast going on between Leinster House and the convention centre.
