Unless other Deputies or Senators wish to make further contributions, I thank our contributors today. It has been a good session and we have learned a great deal.

The important thing for us now is to take on board what has been said. We will write a report at the end of this. We hope that we will then able to press the Oireachtas for action our recommendations. We want our contributors to understand this as part of a process that is to lead to results that we hope will improve the lives of Traveller people and make sure they get fair play in society.

Unless there is any other matter we will conclude. Our next meeting is at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, 12 October 2021. It will be a joint meeting with the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage at which we will continue our examination of access to housing and accommodation, including Traveller-specific accommodation. At the conclusion of that meeting the committee will adjourn until Thursday, 21 October 2021 for a private session at 11.30 a.m. and a public session at 1.30 p.m. when we further consider Travellers in prison.
