I thank Dr. Ó Concubhair and Mr. Glynn very much for staying with us this morning and for the information they have imparted to us. It has certainly been very interesting and useful. Today is my last day as Chair of this committee. I wish to put on the record formally that I hope some of the observations made on An Garda Síochána might be put to it as a matter of fairness when there is a Garda representative here. If Senator Ruane is in the Chair, I ask her to do it, although that is a matter for her. If another Chair is selected, maybe my request will be brought to his or her attention.

I thank the witnesses. As this is my last day as Chair, I very much thank all three of them for the very large amount of work they have done and for the degree to which I have been indulged because of my disorganisation and the fact that, at least at the start, my attention was probably elsewhere. I also thank the committee members for their indulgence and for staying with me. I will not be around for any of the deliberations and the making of recommendations, but I wish the members very good luck with those. Thank you very much.
