Good luck with that.

I thank the delegates for their contributions to our hearings on the issue of cybersecurity. Unusually, I will name all of my colleagues who have taken the time to attend, quite a number of whom are not members of the committee. My colleague and the Vice Chairman, Senator Joan Freeman, could not make it and sent her apologies, as did another member, Senator Catherine Noone. Deputy Kathleen Funchion is unwell and also could not make it. Senator Máire Devine has been present throughout the morning but has had to step out. Senator Martin Conway and Deputy Tom Neville were present, while Deputy Sean Sherlock commenced his contribution. Deputies Timmy Dooley, James Lawless and Anne Rabbitte have also been present. On behalf of all of my colleagues from both Houses of the Oireachtas, I sincerely thank the delegates for their attendance, contributions and answering all of the questions asked. I thank Lauren, Muireann, Serena, Isabel, Tara, Jade, Jody, Fearghal and the attendees in the Visitors Gallery from Newbridge and Comhairle na nÓg. They include Ms Kathryn Scully and Ms Dorothee Reynolds and, from Comhairle na nÓg, Mr. Brian McManus, Mr. Dermot O'Brien, Mr. Olive McGovern and Ms Karyn Farrell.

I know that our guests will have a quick tour of the Houses of the Oireachtas. Regrettably, Leinster House is closed, but there is still much to see. There will also be a reception with tea, coffee and sandwiches for them.
