James O'Connor (Cork East, Fianna Fail)

I take pride in being as bipartisan as I can. I think it was Deputy Conor Sheehan of the Labour Party who raised that very important point, which is one that needs significant focus. As Chairperson of the committee, I have noticed that there have been approaches made to me on behalf of the companies. They are welcome and I will speak to everybody but it is interesting that there is an awareness there of the role we have in highlighting that issue. It is good that we have that conversation. I ask the witnesses to please look into that, which may be something we will discuss in the future.

I thank everybody most sincerely for their time and contributions. I thank our witnesses for being here. I thank the clerk and the committee team. We will meet in private session on Tuesday week and then on Wednesday, 19 November. We are off next Tuesday on account of the inauguration. Gabhaim buíochas libh.
