That is recommendation No. 25 of the citizens' assembly, which is focused on progression and ensuring workplaces promote gender equality in leadership. Therefore, it is useful to hear the trade union experience.

That brings today's hearing to a conclusion if no other colleague wishes to come in for a final point. We thank our guests for giving of their time. I thank Dr. Bambrick and Mr. Joyce for engaging with us today, for coming in at short notice to represent the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and for giving us such valuable insights based on their experience and expertise within the trade union movement. In particular, I thank them for being so focused on the practical implementation of the recommendations of the Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality. Their insights have been very valuable and helpful to the committee as we deliberate. We will publish our final report on 1 December in accordance with our tight timeframe. We only have a small number of public hearings left. As I have said, we will hear from other witnesses, including the Tánaiste next week and WorkEqual, IBEC and the living wage coalition the following week. We are considering the workplace and pay related recommendations, but we thank our guests for their insight on other areas.
