I thank Ms Mernagh. All the contributions were very powerful, particularly the account of how difficult it is for someone living in a rural area. There was a paragraph that summed it up so well including the difficulties of getting to so many things. It is why so many people do not leave. There are so many obstacles. We see that a lot around family farms and things like that. The statements were all excellent. It is great to see that there are employers such as Vodafone leading the way. I think this will be a really good session and I am glad that we are not under time pressure, unusually.
