I thank the committee for its understanding and to Dr. Joanne Banks, Ms Tamara Byrne, Ms Derval McDonagh and to Dr. Joe Travers for their evidence. It is challenging. We have a Committee on Disability Matters but we see the system is still failing our people. I believe Deputy Canney noted that we have a huge body of work to do to bring the spotlight on that. On any metrics, including the UNCRPD or anything else, or even just basic common decency; we have to move away from the charity and medical model towards the social model at breakneck speed because citizens are being failed. I thank our guest speakers for their evidence. We will be back to them and any information they can give that the Deputies and Senators sought will be greatly appreciated. I ask that they keep in contact with us, keep us informed and we will be back to them. I thank them very much.
