On behalf of the members of the committee from the Houses of the Oireachtas, both the Deputies and the Senators, the secretariat and myself, I would like to thank Dr. Margaret Battin, Dr. Mark Komrad, and Dr. Tom Jeanne for giving their time, expertise and knowledge from so far away. It is wonderful we can do this using modern technology and that we can do this so efficiently and use our time effectively. I thank our three witnesses for their expertise and contributions. We really appreciate it and are very grateful and thankful to them. We have a very difficult task to do in Ireland but we believe that witnesses, such as these, will help us to decide in an informed way the best course of action to take in the future weeks and months.
