I thank Deputy McAuliffe. That was top class. Perhaps the forum members will come back to us with proposals on what they want us to do. I suggest they give the committee three asks, whatever they might be, and we will come back on them. We can make representations to the different Ministers and Departments, including the shared island unit, on issues the forum might be interested in.

With regard to Galway, I hear what has been said. We have Deputies here from Louth and Ballymun so we were able to deal with issues raised about those areas. We can send issues raised about Galway to the Deputies from Galway initially and then to the Ministers the forum would like the issues directed to, if that is okay. If any further or additional communication come through to us from the forum, we will follow it up. We also hope to have the forum back before the committee.

If the witnesses would like to wrap up, they have about six minutes to do so before getting back to their tour. This has been a great meeting.
