That more or less completes the questioning. I thank the witnesses from Children's Health Ireland, Ms Hardiman and her team, Mr. David Gunning of the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and Mr. Tierney from the Department of Health for the work involved in preparing for today's meeting. We have covered a lot of ground. I thank the witnesses for the information and the replies. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, Ms Elena Moldovanu and their staff for their assistance in preparing for the meeting.

Is it agreed that the clerk will seek any follow-up information and carry out any agreed actions arising from the meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we will note and publish the opening statements and briefings provided for today's meeting? Agreed. I wish the project well and I hope that it will be as near as possible to 100% successful, that timelines are kept to and that we can prevent runaway costs from running too far away. I will suspend the meeting until 1.30 p.m., when we will resume briefly in private session before resuming in public session.
