I thank Mr. Conneely for his comments. The chamber I am familiar with has moved incredibly in the past few years. I would say it is closely aligned with Chambers Ireland. I certainly appreciate Mr. Conneely's willingness to have those difficult conversations. It is part of the process of getting to where we want to go. I certainly would commend Mr. Conneely on that.

We are out of time. I thank Senator Higgins for her questions earlier as I neglected to thank her. I also thank our guests for attending this part of the session. It was truly informative and worthwhile for us as we go into the next session but also as we ramp up our interest in the sustainable development goals. Arguably, we are late in taking it as seriously as we should have been taking it but it is certainly a case of better late than never. There is an important agenda there for 2030. We have to do everything we can to achieve it and we will do our best to play our part in that. I thank all our guests again.

I will suspend the meeting for a few minutes to allow the officials from the Department to come in.
