No one else is indicating. We went on a deep dive but I really appreciate both officials coming in and giving us the benefit of their experience and expertise. It was a very interesting and informative session.

I record the apologies of Senator Mullen, who is away on Oireachtas business. We will go into private session to discuss the business of the committee. At our next meeting we will engage with the European Committee of the Regions.
