Everyone is, therefore, in agreement on that and that is my sense of it. One can appreciate that it is a little bit more difficult to judge matters when everyone is working remotely but I want to ensure that I have all of the formalities correct on this. We are in agreement then that we draft those letters, make the contact and engagement that has been suggested by Deputy Munster and, following on from that, we will decide how to proceed as a committee. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Finally, I thank our guests again here today for their time in giving us a comprehensive and insightful presentation in our hearings. I also thank my colleagues who have been here for a number of hours at this stage, some remotely and some here in the committee room. It has been great to start doing things with a little bit more normality.

That concludes our business today and the meeting is now adjourned. Our joint committee’s next meeting will be on Wednesday, 20 October at which point we will have an opportunity to pick up on these issues when we will be meeting in private session in committee room 1. Gabhaim buíocha libh go léir.
