That concludes our consideration of public petitions this afternoon. I invite members of the public to submit petitions via our online portal available at petitions.oireachtas.ie. A petition may be addressed to the Houses of the Oireachtas on a matter of general public concern or interest or an issue of public policy.

Before we move to any other business, I echo what Deputy Buckley said about Ms Maggie Semple and the staff of this committee. The amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to make our job here easy is unbelievable. I thank Ms Semple and the staff on behalf of the members.

Under any other business, there is a change in our staff. Our clerical officer, Ms Margaret O'Donnell, has moved from this committee to the Joint Committee on Autism. On my behalf and on behalf of the rest of the committee, I thank Margaret for all her hard work during her time with us and to wish her well in her new role. Before I let other members in, Margaret was here when I became Chair, which is nearly three years ago now, and she has been very helpful to me in my role. I wish her all the best. It is the autism committee's gain. Do members wish to make any final comments?
