I appreciate that. I congratulate Eoin, Colum, Gavin, Kevin, Kathlyn, Aaron, Ciara, who is not with us at this point, David, Brendan, Stephen, Jame, Sean, Gary, John, Maria, Eimear and Emma. On behalf of the committee I thank all of you for your attendance at the meeting today to share your experience of competing in the competition as an apprentice. It is a very important message to give. This committee has consistently recognised the important role that those who undertake apprenticeship training have in ensuring the stability and growth of the Irish economy for the future. It is clear from the delegation before us that our apprentices are not only competing on a world stage but also succeeding. It is reassuring to see that our future is in such safe hands. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.

There is no further business. Members of the select committee will meet at 5 p.m. next Wednesday, 15 November 2017, to deal with the Technological Universities Bill 2015.
