Ms Frances Haugen was before this committee a few months ago and she told us there were only around 200 people in the world who were qualified to do some of the work she was talking about. We may have to throw the net far and wide but, that being said, it is wonderful to see it actually happening. There is a bright future ahead and, it is hoped, an air of excitement within the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland about the transition to the media commission.

That concludes our proceedings for today. I wish Ms Curtis the very best in her new role and I wish Ms Craig the very best in what will be a new organisation and set-up. We look forward to further engagements with them both.

As the committee has discharged its duty under Standing Order 96, the meeting is now adjourned.
