Mr. Michael Murphy:

As a final word, on behalf of the delegation and the team that supports us, I thank the Chairman and the Senators and Deputies who attended and held us to account. We really appreciate it. It is always a pleasure to appear before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs. I thank the team behind the scenes. There was a lot of tic-tacking with Ms Heidi Lougheed. We really appreciate the opportunity to come and tell the story about our role and our impact at European level on behalf of cities and regions. The European Union is all about challenges and opportunities. The Irish delegation will always seek opportunities within these challenges and try to grasp as many as we can for the benefit of our cities and regions. I again thank the Chairman, Deputies and Senators.
