I thank members, and I thank the Tánaiste in particular for meeting with the committee and having an additional session on defence along with our usual foreign affairs session. I particularly thank him and his officials for dealing with the issues in such a comprehensive way. As far as defence is concerned, the Tánaiste will see the need for us to have these engagements pretty regularly. I thank him for that. We wish him well in the important work he is engaged with on the international stage on behalf of the people. We very much appreciate that and recognise his work. I will bring matters to a close.
