I thank the witnesses for coming today. I also thank Deputy MacSharry for bringing forward this sensible Bill.

I listened to both organisations with an open mind and they have completely convinced me that this is a practical Bill. While I do not dismiss what Ms McKiernan said about there being extra complications and concern about uploading the financial burden and all the rest, that will still be required whether before the seller's pack is ready or afterwards. I do not have anything more to add other than to say the witnesses have convinced me even more that we must continue with this important piece of work.
