I thank Mr. Cooper and Mr. Flanagan for their presentation. Their enthusiasm has not waned since the first day they came before this committee. I thank them for attending.

This is a cross-party committee and very much supports what the IHRA has been trying to do and will continue to do so. The Indecon report has put a roadmap in place with certain targets the IHRA has to meet. It is obviously prepared to do that and its constant engagement with the Department is crucial. I wish the witnesses the best of luck tomorrow at their next meeting with the Department. We will present a copy of the transcript of these proceedings to the Minister and will follow up on the requests that have been made in respect of seed funding and other issues today.
