I thank the witnesses from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Sport Ireland, the FAI and the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform for preparing the work for today's meeting and sending us documentation. I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff for attending and assisting today's meeting. I acknowledge that three different bodies have appeared before the committee, namely, the Department, Sport Ireland and the FA. I also acknowledge that while the FAI is not audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General, we tried to deal with it on a voluntary basis in terms of the answers provided. I thank everybody for attending and assisting.

Is it agreed that the clerk of the committee will seek any follow-up information and carry out agreed actions arising from today's meeting? Agreed. Is it also agreed that we note and publish the opening statements and briefings provided for today's meeting? Agreed. We will suspend until 1.45 p.m., when we will resume in public session to deal with correspondence and any other business. There is a great deal of important business to deal with it in the afternoon, so we will try to get good attendance.
