Are there any further questions? I thank the officials. What has come out of the discussion is that it would be very helpful to us, as Oireachtas Members and members of the committee, to have a menu of options and if it was possible to talk to the Minister about that in terms of the range of options available to address the shortfall in the fund.

I thank the officials for the presentation. I know there was a small enough attendance today but we have had a very helpful debate and the main spokespersons were here. This is in the public domain and the fact we have had this meeting will have helped that process. We need an ongoing debate around this very important issue. I thank the officials again for starting that debate. If there is no other business, we will adjourn.
