That concludes the questions from myself. I thank all of our guests from the trust for coming in today. I wish them well. It is essential for the people who depend on the service that things work. It is not because you are too large to fall. I think you are too important to fall, given the nature of the critical work that goes on there. I wish you well in your endeavours.

I hope this meeting goes some way to restoring the trust and faith of the public, not just in the Peter McVerry Trust but in all the phenomenal work that goes on right across the board by the voluntary sector. Fundraising activities have taken a hit across the board because of what went on within the trust. I hope this engagement goes some of the way to reassuring people the trust is in safe hands. There is still a lot of work to be done; no one is denying that. I wish the witnesses well. From a departmental perspective, I am sure there will be additional and ongoing questions to the trust. I expect there will be some follow-up engagement on a multitude of issues.
