Not at all. Thank you for being so real, honest and open. It really is very much appreciated. I know my own sister always says that too. Sometimes people will say they were not sure what to say so they did not say anything. That is the worst thing you can do. She went on to have three children but all after Alannah had passed away. They speak about them all the time but she always said that. I really understand where you are coming from in relation to that.

I thank the witnesses, Deputy Cronin, Senator Clonan and all our members here. I need to get agreement to publish the opening statements to the Oireachtas website. Is that agreed? Agreed. We are adjourned until Tuesday, 21 May.
