That concludes all our questions, the vast majority of which were outside of the remit of the Revised Estimates. I am aware of that in case anyone thought otherwise. I felt it was appropriate given that this was our first opportunity to discuss disability, which has been something the committee has sought for so long. The Minister has always been really good when we have brought up issues outside of the Estimates and I knew the Minister of State would not mind either. We took a bit of advantage there; I thank her very much.

That completes the select committee's consideration of the further Revised Estimates for Public Services in respect of Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. A message to this effect will now be sent to the Clerk of the Dáil in accordance with the Standing Orders. Is that agreed? Agreed. It is proposed to publish the opening statements to the website. Is that agreed? Agreed.
