I thank Ms Donnelly for those words, which underline the challenge we have. As she said, this process involves incentives, technology, regulation. She is also correct, however, that it is down to hearts and minds along with leadership. All of us on this committee are working very hard but we have more work to do in convincing our colleagues across the political spectrum to take our society and political system to where they need to go.

This has been a very thorough and engaging session. I am looking forward to reading back over the transcript. There was so much in the discussion that stimulated me and, I am sure, members of the committee and members of the public watching. I hope there is significant uptake in the media because these are very important sessions. We will have three more meetings following today's session. I thank Professor Ó Gallachóir for leading his team today and for fielding so many of the questions. I thank all his colleagues as well for coming before us and giving us their expert insight, which is very important for us to hear. It will contribute greatly to the report we submit to the Government in a few weeks time.
