I thank the witnesses. It is very helpful to speak to individuals affected by the issue we are discussing. I assure the delegation that the issue is constantly being raised at the committee by Deputies and Senators, and it has been discussed in recent weeks. We will continue to do this. The committee does not bring forward legislation but we can raise the issue when legislation is discussed or the Minister is before us. We will send a copy of the presentation to the Minister and ask for her views on what the witnesses have said. When we get a reply from the Minister we will send it to the witnesses. Any further comments to the committee may be put in writing and we can keep it in mind. I thank the representatives of the alliance for briefing us so comprehensively.
