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

-----there is an awful lot of detail involved in the social protection system. It is good to have the research from them but it is also good to see the continued research.

I thank you for your time and your interest in this matter because it is something on which this committee is very anxious to follow up over the coming years to try to make the system more public-friendly, child-friendly and family-friendly. Thank you to Dr. Doorley, Mr. MaÌtre and Ms Sándorová for their contributions today and for providing the various briefing materials in advance for the committee's deliberations. I thank you all. I know you have another commitment at 12 o'clock so I thank you for coming in and taking up our invitation at such short notice last week.
