I thank the Minister of State. We only have a few months left of this Government and I do not know if I will be lucky enough to get an opportunity to come back again. I may never have that opportunity. However, we must strive to have a good relationship and be able to bring about positive change in accommodation for Travellers. The Minister of State and the Department can genuinely bring about change in Traveller accommodation. We look forward to working with him in the future. We thank him for all of his work to date on Traveller accommodation. We also thank the officials - David, Patrick and Karen. I have worked closely with them in the last four years. We all want positive change for Travellers. We may see it from different angles but we all want positive and sustainable accommodation for the Traveller community. I thank the Minister of State for his time this morning. It has been very useful having him here for our report. We must hope and demand changes. If there is no other business then I propose that we have our next private meeting on 26 September. Is that agreed? Agreed.
