Mr. Joyce wants to speak for a moment. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Deputy Ó Cuív for all of his hard work. He genuinely wants to do the best with, and not for, our community. I thank all the committee members. Deputy Stanton is also passionate about Traveller equality. Even when representatives of organisations come before us, Deputy Ó Cuív puts it up to them. He does a better job than I do because I can be a bit afraid sometimes. The Deputy is willing to call for an end to pilot programmes and it is great to have that. Mr. Joyce will have the last word before I move to closing statements.
