When this committee was being set up and we were drawing up its terms of reference we asked all the party members to leave their political jerseys outside the door. That has been one of the big advantages of this committee. All parties and Independents have come together to help in cases such as St. Brigid's and the Owenacurra centre, as well as others who have come before us. I thank members. They have not brought political interference, or whatever we want to call it, to bear but left it outside the door.
