I wish Mr. Malone well in his upcoming role, which is very important for the students and staff of DkIT and their families and, as he rightly pointed out, for the region as well, given that this is not just about Dundalk. We will have the opportunity to engage further at a later stage. I wish Mr. Aylward well in his role. I also wish Ms Gallagher well. She keeps us very well informed of everything that is happening within SOLAS, which we welcome. We feel a lot of excellent work is being carried out and we want to help in whatever way we can. The committee will notify the Minister that it has had its engagement with Mr. Malone and Mr. Aylward. I thank them both for their engagement and their insights and I wish them every success in their roles. I wish everybody a happy Christmas and new year.
