Deputy Eamon Ryan has made a number of points with which I completely agree. They should be included in our 30-day report. That is what we are here for. It is not about examining the Estimates for 2016 or 2017. We are here to make suggestions, and the ones Deputy Eamon Ryan offered make perfect sense. They would eventually inform the proceedings of the budgetary committee that would be set up after our temporary committee has concluded its proceedings. I formally propose that.
