I thank Ms Lynch for that.

Ms Moira Leydon, from the ASTI; Mr. Seamus Lahart, the TUI president; Ms Debbie Howlett, from the ETBI; Ms Maria Dunne, the chair of Fórsa's school secretaries branch; Ms Caoimhe Allman, from the Department of Education and Skills; and Mr. John Irwin, the general secretary of the ACCS, are in the Public Gallery.

I would like to thank our witnesses for their very valuable contributions, for their time and for coming here to talk about a very pertinent issue which impacts on all schools. We really appreciate them giving up their time to engage with us. We will have the opportunity to reflect on what was said and to write a report. I thank the witnesses also for the practical recommendations they made, which we will take on board. If they want to send us on anything further, they should please do so as we would certainly appreciate it.

Members should not forget that our home school liaison report will be launched at 10 a.m. on Thursday. I thank everyone.
