I thank Senator Dolan. That concludes part one of the meeting. I want to put the officials in the Department of Education on notice that they will be asked to come back before the committee again. Owing to the weather conditions, four or five members have been unable to attend as they come from counties under red status. It was agreed last night that the meeting would proceed even though they would not be able to participate.

They are unable to participate online because they are outside the precincts of Leinster House. Perhaps we can have that further meeting in January. I will ask the clerk to contact the Department and perhaps we can arrange something for January, if that is agreeable. I again thank the witnesses for coming before us and briefing us. It has been very informative. It was Dr. Áine Hyland who told the committee that she did a report 30 years ago. I was only quoting what she said.
