I thank Ms McTavish. I thank Deputy Carrigy. This finishes our discussion. On the issue of multi-annual funding, it is raised by every committee and every group. We are all involved in different groups. I am a director of a local drug and alcohol forum. We do not know what we are doing from year to year, so multi-annual funding is important and needs to be addressed by the Government.

I thank all the witnesses. I propose that we publish the opening statements on the committee’s website. Is that agreed? Agreed. I thank the witnesses for coming in. It was an important discussion. It was informative for me and I am sure for all the committee members. I propose that we now go into private session. Is that agreed? Agreed.
