I thank Ms Goodall. Lest there be any misunderstanding or misinterpretation of this committee, we always advocate an end to violence and the promotion of stability, dialogue and reconciliation. We strongly advocate the viability of the two-state solution, however remote that indeed might be at this point in time. In any event, on behalf of the joint committee, I thank the representatives of the Ireland Israel Alliance for meeting with us, Mr. Haddad from New York and our three other guests for coming in to give of their time, engaging with us and answering the questions of our members in such a direct and competent manner. I have no doubt we will have the opportunity of a future engagement. I remind members of the meeting of the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence scheduled for Tuesday next at 10.30 a.m. to consider Committee Stage of the Defence Forces (Evidence) Bill 2019.
