I thank Ms Joyce very much. That is a very strong point on which to finish. It is good to finish on the local politics level as well. I will draw our meeting to a close. I thank my colleagues for all the great engagement. Our guests can see how committed we are to ensuring that the recommendations of the citizens' assembly are implemented as our work draws to a close.

On behalf of the committee, I thank our guests from the 30% Club, Ms Gillian Harford and Ms Meliosa O’Caoimh; from Women on Air, Ms Roisin Duffy and Ms Pat Coyle; and Ms Maria Joyce from the National Traveller Women's Forum. I will be thinking of Ms Coyle's words about the voices of women next time I am on the radio and I will not lower my voice. I think we all will. I thank them all very much for giving us the benefit of their experience, expertise and sometimes diverse but important views and perspectives on the recommendations. We appreciate their engagement. It will be useful to us when we come to finalise our report, which we are due to submit on 1 December, over the coming month and a half. Our work is nearly concluded. I remind colleagues that our next and final public meeting will be next Thursday.
