I welcome the national executives of Comhairle na nÓg. The age range of comhairlí members is between 12 and 18 years. Some of the topics listed are about sexual health and mental health. I would like to attend one of the meetings. Although this age group consists of young teenagers, these are very serious topics. Who attends the meetings? Are doctors and nurses and other professionals invited to speak at them?

Mr. Maguire did a survey of 200 people on the issue of mental health. What was the feedback from the survey? What types of person completed the survey? I have been a Deputy for 18 months and this delegation is definitely one of the most impressive delegations I have met here. In my view, the delegates are beyond their years, so to speak. I am very impressed.
