Nobody else is indicating to come in, so we will finish it there. I thank the Minister and his officials for attending today and engaging with the committee. It was a thorough, informative and useful session. It was an important session in the context of the ongoing challenge to achieve our 2030 targets and beyond to 2050 as well.

The committee will meet as a select committee next Tuesday to discuss the Estimates. On Wednesday, the Minister, Deputy Coveney, will be in, as I mentioned, at 5.30 p.m. to speak to the challenge in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment with respect to climate action. It is an important role. We have been talking much about the offshore challenge and much of it will fall to his Department. We hope to have the Minister, Deputy Ryan, back to speak more to the transport challenge we have which, as he identified, is perhaps the hardest of all the sectors. We will get into that in more detail. The time is to be arranged still.
