That concludes this afternoon's meeting. I thank the members of FLAC, Ms Eithne Lynch, Mr. Paul Joyce and Mr. Ciarán Finlay, for attending and not just answering the questions but providing the document they submitted. In particular, they adhered to our request and made specific recommendations. We always discuss the issue but we are trying to find solutions to improve the position. An issue raised a number of times today, which resonated with the members, is giving statutory recognition in terms of the code of conduct and so forth. The witnesses mentioned that today but that point has been made forcefully on other occasions.
