I thank Senator Higgins. We would very happily receive anything the witnesses want to send in. We will circulate it to the members. It will help us with the formation of a report we will do on this series of sessions. We had some academics in last week and we have heard from today's witnesses but, unfortunately, we did not have the Press Council. We have written to the Press Council to express our disappointment that its representatives did not come in. We are very appreciative to the witnesses for giving us their time today. It has been a very interesting and engaging session that gives us a lot to think about. It leads us nicely into next week's session, which will be attended by representatives of the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland and RTÉ. We will also hear from two bodies based in London: Purpose Disruptors, which is very interested in advertising, and Client Earth, which looks at the legal issues around media and climate.

We are over time for this session. The Minister has arrived for the next session, so I will suspend the meeting for a moment to allow the witnesses to leave. I thank them for coming. I look forward to receiving any information they can send in to us that will inform our report, which we will conclude in the spring time.
