I thank the three witnesses - Mr. Noel Brett, Mr. Martin O’Halloran and Mr. Brian Higginson - and the departmental officials and others who are present. I also thank committee members for remaining, because we had a lot to cover in the module on roadworthiness.

I have two points to put to the committee before members leave. I propose that the committee conclude its scrutiny by drafting a political contribution to the European Commission, the European Parliament, Irish MEPs and the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. Alternatively, we could ask the Department to keep us informed.

I propose that Fiona draw up a report and bring it to the committee. We will then send our report to the various people. Is that agreed?
