I think that is the note to end on. It is about learning from the mistakes of the past and from history and preventing it repeating itself. It reminds me of Séamus Heaney's "hope and history rhyme". The only thing we can hope for is that in some instances history does not repeat itself. That is why we are here, to listen to all the voices and learn from those like Mr. Beckton who have looked at what went on in the past and what should not have happened and try to learn from those mistakes.

Mr. Paisley has sent his apologies. He wanted to stay for the entire session but unfortunately his line broke down. He wanted to stay for all the contributions but they have all been recorded and will be broadcast again on Oireachtas TV. The session was also carried live on Oireachtas TV and is available on the website.

As we have a few minutes left, I will allow Senators in to say a few last words.
