I wish to add my thanks to everyone. We had a late night last night, so I thank all of the staff. In particular, I thank the officials from the Department and Revenue for answering our questions over a long time so that we could have an informed discussion on Committee Stage of the Finance Bill.

I thank my apprentice, Deputy Burke, who stepped in and chaired the meeting. I give him ten out of ten, so the Minister should keep an eye on him.

Indeed. I will add to what has been said by the Chairman, Deputy Doherty and others. I thank everyone for the way in which this business was conducted. There are differing views. We have been here since 9.30 a.m. yesterday and have worked our way through a long Bill. I have done my best to respond to the issues that have been raised.
I thank all of the staff from Revenue and the Department of Finance and everyone else who has been involved.
