That is a strong and passionate conclusion, and I thank Mr. O'Connell. I thank all of our witnesses for participating today. It has been a useful meeting and it is part of the discussions we have been having over the past couple of months. I thank colleagues as well.

Finally, I am sorry Deputy Griffin is not here as I am sure he would second my proposal. It would be remiss of me today as Chair of the Oireachtas joint committee with responsibility for sport not to congratulate Arva GAA, who were crowned All-Ireland winners at the junior football championship against Listowel Emmets last weekend in Croke Park.

It was huge for the county, and huge for Arva. I am sure my colleagues will not mind me asking the clerk to the committee to extend our best wishes to Arva on their big win at the weekend. Is that agreed?
