Ms Sinéad Gibney:

I have nothing substantive to add. Professor Lynch has added some final thoughts. I thank the committee for the time given to us today. I appreciated hearing the very passionate views from members about the system and the progress they need to see. I would encourage members to approach the Minister and his officials about the urgency around the issues outlined.

The principle is that while we are waiting for some of the more significant changes to happen, there are smaller, more aspirational changes to be made to our system to change it from one that is potentially hostile to one that is more welcoming. That can and must now happen. That is what I would encourage the committee to push with the Minister.
