I thank Mr. Brady. Is everybody okay? Nobody else is offering.

I again thank Dr. Fitzpatrick and Dr. Boland for their very interesting contributions. I heard Dr. Fitzpatrick speak at Ulster University some weeks ago where she outlined many other issues that need particular attention in Northern Ireland. She emphasised the need for an adequate childcare programme throughout Ireland, but particularly Northern Ireland, and how inadequate it is at present. There is a lot of food for thought in what the speakers left with us today. I am sure we will have interactions in future. On behalf of the committee, I sincerely thank them for their contributions.
