I thank Ms Sweeney and everyone else so much.

We will go back to being a little bit formal again. Would any members of the committee like to raise any other matters? No. We will meet again next Thursday, 3 October 2024, at 10.30 a.m., when we will have representatives with us from the Irish Travellers' Access to Justice Project, so the work continues. On 10 October 2024, then, at 10 a.m., we will be meeting the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, Michael O'Flaherty, to discuss Travellers and human rights at a European level. Again, though, we have legislation going through these Houses that is not future-proofed or sustainable-proofed for members of the Traveller community, so there is a lot of work to be done.
