I sincerely thank all the witnesses, Ms McDonagh, Ms Lavin, Ms Locke-Reilly and Dr. Roddy, for coming. We have had a very wide-ranging discussion. The witness statements and the answers they have given will be core to many of the recommendations we will be making. That is not jumping ahead and saying what they will be. It has been extremely beneficial for the committee to hear their views.

Again, I thank the witnesses for all the work they have done on behalf of autistic people and their families. It is very important and is greatly appreciated by the families and parents. As a parent, I appreciate all the work they do. I look forward to working with them and I am sure we will make a difference for the lives of the children and families involved.

We normally have any other matters on the agenda but I think we are going to conclude at this point today. We will now adjourn until 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 31 January when we will meet representatives of the Middletown Centre for Autism and Science Foundation Ireland.
