I thank the Minister and his officials and all the members. It is great to see some people back in the committee rooms. It is great that we are getting back to that. Obviously, as we say with all of these meetings, we are in the process of going through this. We have had some meetings already and we still have more to come. I remind people of that as well.

Although it is a different topic, I wanted to tell the Minister that we are meeting representatives of the early years and childcare sector on Tuesday, 5 October 2021. We hope the Minister will be watching that meeting in advance of the budget.

Is it agreed to publish the opening statement to the Oireachtas website? Agreed. Again, I thank the Minister, his officials and members.
