Votes have been called in both Houses. I thank Mr. Curran and his colleagues for engaging with the joint committee today. It is important that they appear before this committee and today they have shown they try to be fair. There are lessons for them in it and it is important to hear the perspective of public representatives in particular, who hear the views of their constituents and wish to air them. We share much in common in respect of what we must do and the message we must get out. Having listened to the witnesses today, I respect the fact they are quite committed and are taking this seriously, which I appreciate. I again thank the witnesses for their attendance and look forward to meeting the them next January or February, at the earliest possible convenience, in respect of RTE's future strategy. Finally, I thank all members.
