I thank everyone very much. I particularly thank Ms Steen, Mr. Lennon, Ms McCanney and Dr. Cafferty for coming down from Northern Ireland. On behalf of the committee, I once again thank them for their hospitality when we visited the centre late last year. I welcome the centre's board discussing my question in regard to recommendations. We would more than welcome any such recommendations. They can be sent to the secretariat and will form part of our deliberations. The committee's early report on the summer programme for 2023 is being debated in the Dáil on Thursday evening. We are hopeful that early part of our work will make a change for a significant number of children, particularly in special schools, this year. A lot of work is going on behind the scenes in the Department to make sure those changes are made on the back of our report coming out late last year.
