We are really grateful for the Commissioner's time and very appreciative of his openness and frankness. At a time democracy has its challenges in terms of trust in politicians and in the political process, and in the bureaucrats and at an executive level, the more forthcoming we are in terms of being upfront in our honesty, the better. We appreciate that today. To the Commissioner and his team, go raibh míle maith agaibh. I thank them very much.

The meeting is now adjourned. The next meeting of the joint committee will be held on Wednesday, 22 September 2021 at 9.30 a.m. in private via Microsoft Teams.
