I thank Senator Higgins for those questions. I thank the OGP and SEAI representatives for their in-depth answers, which are greatly appreciated. The witnesses’ time has been very well spent in informing us of the work they are doing in both organisations. We are at a point where much progress needs to happen in the next few years. Although we are not the line committee for the OGP, having its representatives here has been very helpful. I would imagine the successor to this committee will look to have them in again to track progress as it is being made in the next few years. The representatives of the SEAI are very familiar guests. We are happy to have them in again and they will be here many more times as we go forward. I thank the witnesses for their time and expertise and for helping us with our understanding of what is going on. Members have raised certain issues that have not been fully considered and perhaps the organisations can take those away and develop them in the work they do.

We will adjourn. The select committee is due to meet at 1.30 p.m. this Thursday, 17 October. The joint committee will meet next at 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 22 October.
