I accept and welcome the additional information Ms Logan has shared. Higher education is very important in addressing discrimination. It needs to start at the earliest stage of the formation of thoughts, ideas and interpersonal relationships. I look forward to seeing more on that in the future.

I am reminded of a phrase my grandmother taught me many years ago, "There are good goods in small parcels." I am sorry that all members were not able to attend the second session, but I thank those who have for contributions they made. I also thank the commissioner, Ms Logan, and Mr. Joyce, whom I have heard speak before on this issue and for whom I have great respect. It is wonderful to have the opportunity to have him come before the committee today. I also thank his colleague, Mr. Brian Dawson, from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission who is in the Gallery. He is also welcome.

I invite the witnesses to join our montage of photographs for the report to the Minister.
