We will conclude as we have had a long meeting. I thank each of the groups for taking the time – some had to take time off from schools – to make presentations to the committee. The presentations were constructive and contained many good suggestions. We have had a productive meeting. We will send a transcript of the meeting to those who attended and we will try to itemise the suggestions that were made and the issues that were raised. We will follow them up with the Minister. I hope the committee will come up with further policy development in the area. The engagement with the witnesses was positive. I thank members also in that regard.

I remind members that we are meeting next Tuesday in the Department of Social Protection. We will have an additional meeting on Thursday of next week with the nominated chair for the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland.
