Does anyone else wish to come in on this section? As nobody has indicated, I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, and his official for attending. I also thank members for their comments on the common trade area, which is crucially important to people in this country and to people in England. I have family members in England, many whom consider themselves to be Irish and others who consider themselves to be English. Some of them have Irish passports and some of them have English passports. My wife is English. It is crucial that we emphasise how important the issue is. I think that view is shared by people in England as well.

That concludes our consideration of the matter before us. If there is no other business members wish to raise, we will adjourn proceedings and resume in private session at 12 noon on Tuesday, 13 October. I thank everybody for their attendance and co-operation.
