Before we conclude, Chairman, Michael Keogh is the assistant secretary in the Department who has worked on the Department's Estimates for many years. He is retiring shortly and I wish to take this opportunity to thank him for his immense service in keeping every penny well spent in the interests of our children.
Business of Select Committee
You can tell us the secrets now, Michael. I wish you well. I thank the Minister and all of the officials, and certainly we wish Michael well. To be fair, when I was talking to Deputy Jan O'Sullivan earlier she complimented all the officials on their work with her as well. Obviously, when the committee is meeting we have to ask questions and examine priorities, but we acknowledge the work that is done by all of the officials.
The select committee adjourned at 6.40 p.m. sine die.
