We must conclude now. I thank Mr. Foxe, Mr. Ó Mongáin, Mr. Curran, Mr. Dooley, Ms O'Kelly and Mr. Brennan for coming before the committee this morning. As I said at the outset, this is part of a process that is feeding itself into the pre-scrutiny of the freedom of information legislation. I would encourage the witnesses to read the transcripts of the other proceedings in this module. The Ombudsman and Information Commissioner, Ms Emily O'Reilly will be appearing before us this afternoon and I am sure she will have things to say that would be of interest to them, for example. We would be open to receiving a submission on the submissions, once the witnesses have reviewed what has been said. If there are any other matters that the witnesses would like to raise during this process, they are welcome to submit them to the committee.
