I thank the Deputy and Professor Kinsella. I do not have any questions. Three things have come from this debate. The first thing is the need for a master plan or blueprint and a deeper visionary take. Second, we need to analyse international best practice to see what countries with money have done and take the best from what they have done. Finally, we are talking about money we have and that is a positive.

How we use it is crucial. We need to make sure that we get the best possible use out of it. Professor Kinsella's insights have been very informative for us this evening. It is a pity about the votes because we were going in and out of the meeting. There is certainly a lot of food for thought here. I hope we will engage again with Professor Kinsella. I thank him very much for his time.
