We are moving towards a conclusion. I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Colm Brophy, for his work and for the manner in which he dealt with members' questions. There are a number of ongoing issues which I know he will keep in contact with our members and the clerk of the committee. Once again, on behalf of the members, I thank Irish Aid and Mr. De Burca and his team for the work they undertake on a humanitarian, development, education and healthcare level in many of the most challenging areas of the world. I trust, because of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, that officials will keep in regular contact with members of this committee and the Minister of State, Deputy Brophy, as well. We wish the Minister of State continued good fortune in the many challenges on which is engaged on behalf of Ireland and its people.

I call on the members to join with me in acknowledging that we have now completed our consideration of the Revised Estimate for Votes 27 and 28. The clerk, Mr. Murphy, will send a message to that effect to the Clerk of the Dáil in accordance with Standing Orders 101 and 100(2).
