It is a good example of how we need to ensure it is not the women and children who pay the price in terms of their safety, physical and mental health or, potentially, homelessness. I thank the witnesses for their contributions, in particular Ms Byrne. It was fantastic to have you here and to hear your contribution. We appreciate it. My sincere thanks to Ms Connolly and Mr. Moffatt from Barnardos and Mr. Dennigan and Mr. Allen from Focus Ireland. We really appreciate their contributions. I am sure we will have further engagement with them.

Is it agreed that the opening statements will now be published to the Oireachtas website? Agreed.
