I thank the Minister for his attendance and for engaging in the debate. On behalf of the committee I wish him all the best for next week's meeting.

The committee will meet next Thursday. The meeting will be attended by Emer Costello, MEP, Gay Mitchell, MEP, and Paul Murphy MEP. The meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss not just the future of Europe which is the main purpose of the meeting but also to deal with questions from members. Deputy O'Reilly raised the matter of the MFF and he may wish to raise it with the MEPs who represent all parties. The Fianna Fáil MEP will be unable to attend the meeting on Thursday but Pat the Cope Gallagher, MEP, will attend on another occasion.
