We really do appreciate Ms O'Brien and Mr. Keeley taking the time out of their busy day to assist us. It is an area of work that the committee is concentrating on because we want to see these changes in construction methods in use. On behalf of the entire committee, I thank our guests and all members of the fire services, not just in Dublin but across the country, for the incredibly important work they do. I thank those in both the full-time and retained service. Some committee members come from constituencies that do not have a full-time service. I express our gratitude not just for the emergency work officers do in terms of emergency fire attendance and emergency ambulance services when things go wrong, but also for the other work the fire service does in the area of building control, fire prevention and community work in order to stop things from going wrong. It is very much appreciated all round. I thank our guests for their time.
