I thank members, all the witnesses who attended today and Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, which is just one of a number of organisations involved, and which has come in today, which we greatly appreciate. I am grateful, in particular, to Fair Plé and Mise Fosta. I join with Dr. Casey in thanking the many women, in particular, who have come forward, told their stories and who have begun this campaign to get a much fairer and better system to ensure that this does not happen again. The onus is on us, as legislators, to not fail the people who have come forward and who have shown bravery in telling their stories, which was not easy to do. It is over to us now to take on board everything the witnesses have said today.

The committee is adjourned until 11.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 24 November when it will meet in private session via Microsoft Teams. Following a suspension, the meeting will resume in public session for an engagement with the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Deputy Catherine Martin, and the Minister of State with responsibility for sports and the Gaeltacht, Deputy Jack Chambers, to discuss the key priorities and legislation of the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media insofar as they relate to the remit of this committee.
