I thank the witnesses. Unfortunately we are out of time. As I said at the beginning of the meeting, we appreciate the witnesses coming before the committee to tell their very personal stories. I was delighted to hear Mr. Kenny Moore mention the Canadian model. He spoke about it at a meeting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth and I could not remember where I had heard all of that before. When he said it today the penny dropped. There are aspects of it that we really should be looking at as best practice. I thank Ms Bonnie for joining us on MS Teams. I also thank Ms von Meding, Ms Merrigan, Ms O'Connell, Mr. Kenny Moore and Ms Cohalan.
