I thank all the witnesses for their very constructive engagement today, for the benefit they have given us, and for their expertise and experience. We very much appreciate their engagement with the committee through the submissions, the opening statements and the exchanges we have had through questions and answers and debate. They have seen just how engaged and committed our committee membership is to ensuring we see the implementation of the 45 recommendations of the Citizens’ Assembly on Gender Equality. We have focused particularly on the recommendations relating to pay and workplace conditions, 32 to 36, but there is a full set of 45 recommendations and they are all interrelated. We appreciate that these recommendations being considered today cannot be seen in isolation. I think all of our guests have acknowledged that too. I thank the representatives from WorkEqual, IBEC and SIPTU for engaging with us today.
