We did not get that far. It was very interesting. The Minister was right to identify that. We had another who studies cookery in Ballymaloe. The chairperson of it was runner up to become Prime Minister of Japan. It is extraordinary. They allow Ministers to serve on the parliamentary engagement groups. For Ireland as a small country, we could learn an awful lot around the cultural diplomacy aspect and how that can lead to business relationships, etc. The Minister is right to identify that.

Does the Leas-Chathaoirleach wish to have any further remarks?
