I thank all Senators sincerely for their contributions. It is always a pleasure to be in the Seanad and to listen to them. I thank my officials, who have been studiously taking on board all the contributions. They have been duly noted, including the comments on the role of education, the code of practice and the oversight implementation group, which does exist. The group is looking at the built environment and breastfeeding.

I assure Senators that the importance of many of these issues is noted and they will be taken back to the Minister of State with responsibility for this area, Deputy Catherine Byrne. The psychological impact is relevant as well, and that comes under my area of mental health. I thank Senators.
