That is a nice, positive note on which to finish. When looking at the Citizens' Assembly recommendations related to children we are very conscious of the need to ensure children's rights and a child-centred approach would inform our deliberations, as they informed the assembly's deliberations.

I thank Mr. Darragh O'Connor from Big Start, Mr. Damien Peelo and Ms Mary Roche from Treoir and Ms Frances Byrne from Early Childhood Ireland for your contributions and your constructive and positive engagement. You have given us a great deal of food for thought and assisted us in our deliberations. We are very grateful for that. I thank you for attending today.
