I would like to say thank you to the Chairman and staff. We have come through another year that perhaps we did not think we would, but I congratulate and thank the Chairman on the way in which everything is conducted on this committee.

I thank Deputy O'Sullivan, and I thank her, all the members and, very important, our support staff for their contribution.
