I thank all of the team, Ms Riordan, Mr. Blanchfield, Dr. Scanlon, Professors Smeaton and Ahern and the AI advisory council for its work generally. I am very conscious of the fact that the witnesses voluntarily give of their time, expertise and interest in this, and it is very informative.

We will adjourn this meeting until we have a private meeting on 3 July. Our next public meeting will be with the Minister of State with responsibility for artificial intelligence, Deputy Niamh Smyth, and we will then start into modules around artificial intelligence in the autumn. On the issues the witnesses have raised, it is intended that our first three sessions in the autumn will be on AI and children and young people; AI and older people; and AI and disability, to be specifically informed around the work in those sectors. I thank everybody for a very useful discussion.
