I am happy just to review the transcripts. I thank our witnesses for being here. It is an important issue that we must progress and find solutions to because these people deserve our support. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, has been with us and has given a commitment. We must work to that timeline and hope that we can bring this issue to a conclusion. It is about quality of life for people, and the key point is that it is about people and their lives. We must work together to ensure that we progress this and bring huge change to direct provision, and not just the policy but also the outcome for people.

I thank our witnesses for being here. I apologise that I had to leave after my contribution. I do not normally do that, as the Chairman knows.
