Micheál Carrigy (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

That concludes our consideration and discussion. I thank the representatives – Dr. Kelly and Dr. Cassidy from the Central Bank and Dr. O’Toole, Dr. Slaymaker and Dr. Egan from the ESRI – for attending to give their insight and knowledge. The Central Bank and the ESRI were the two organisations to whose representatives we felt at our first meeting we wanted to speak straight away to set out where matters stand and keep us up to date. I thank the representatives for giving of their time, knowledge and expertise in this area.
