It is nearly 5 o'clock. Unless there are other questions from members, I suggest that we bring matters to a conclusion and move into private session. In doing so, I thank Dr. Colfer and Mr. Fitzgerald for their interesting presentations and an important engagement with members thereafter. I thank them for meeting with the committee and for dealing with the questions, observations and queries that members raised. I also take the opportunity to thank the IIEA for the important role that it plays across Irish society in respect of our role in Europe and the world. I suggest to members that we continue this engagement and that we establish links with the IIEA to ensure that the institute is aware of the work that we are doing, and that we are even more aware of the very valuable contribution that the institute makes to Irish public affairs. I thank the witnesses for that.
