On behalf of the committee, we can assure the witnesses that we will not let it go. I will not say the treatment the HSE has given is as bad as what it has given to the communities, but it is not good enough that the HSE or Departments treat any committee or any location the way it has. I assure the witnesses that we, as a committee, will not let it go. We will have the HSE before the committee and, as was said earlier, we will try to get the Minister in after that. The buck stops with the Minster. The HSE is the Minister's responsibility. I thank the Friends of Owenacurra Group, the Save St Brigid's Action Group and the Loughrea concerned citizens group. It has been a very good meeting and very informative for us. I will suspend the meeting for five minutes to let the witnesses depart.
