John Paul O'Shea (Cork North-West, Fine Gael)

I thank the members, the Minister and the officials. It was great to have this engagement today and I look forward to further engagement. As the Minister outlined, today's engagement related to social protection. We will have engagement on rural and community development in future meetings. I thank the Minister for his contributions today and for providing the various briefing materials in advance, which assisted the committee in its deliberations. We look forward to the Minister's continued engagement as it goes along.
