I thank the staff, including Laoise, Tara, Jessica, Noel who was here earlier and Luke. I also thank Ronan and Sarah. I have been in Belfast and across Northern Ireland and we are very fortunate to have such a great public sector in the foreign affairs area. Those involved are committed and very professional and I thank them for the work they have done, with all other parties. I also thank our secretariat in Belfast, particularly Ruairí de Búrca, in recognition of the amount of work he has done duirng the years. I thank our communications team and also committee members for working with us in the past year. We have had some very interesting outreach visits to Northern Ireland, which were inclusive and very informative for us as a committee. The discussion today has been very informative and I thank the Minister and all parties involved. This inclusive agreement paves the way towards a brighter and more hopeful future for Northern Ireland, which is what this committee is about. I wish everyone a happy Christmas and peaceful new year. I thank members for all their support and hard work on the committee during the year. Once again, we have achieved a lot and engaged on genuinely meaningful issues.
