Seán Fleming: On that note I will bring the meeting to a conclusion. I thank Vicky and Stephen very much for their evidence, which has been very helpful not just to us but to everybody who is listening in. Lessons will have to be learned if their situations are to mean anything at all. I also thank Cian for his assistance here today. I thank the witnesses very much indeed.
