I cannot thank our guests enough for coming in. I apologise for having to cancel the meeting planned a few weeks ago. I worked very closely with the Family Addiction Support Network and I will continue to do so. I think you are all wonderful. I visited Tabor Lodge and was blown away by everything you do down there and by its recovery process. I totally agree with our guests on having all the Cork services working together. That is a model I would love to see rolled out throughout the Thirty-Two Counties. It is a very powerful one. When I visited our guests, I met Mr. David Lane. It is a powerful model and it would be fantastic if we could roll out an inter-agency model of work throughout the country.

I thank all our guests for coming in and for their comprehensive discussion with the subcommittee today. We hope we will have a report published at some point and we will take on the recommendations they made. I thank them all again and wish them a safe trip home.
