Thank you. I am delighted everybody was able to be here. It is good to see the dynamic and to see the different dynamics between youth work in Northern Ireland and southern Ireland. Northern Ireland was ahead of the posse in terms of professional youth work courses, and Jordanstown would have been a pioneer in that area. Many youth workers from the South had to go to Jordanstown. That has all changed, thank God. It is good there is interaction now.

If there is anything with which our guests feel we as a committee can help in regard to issues around sectarianism and the work our guests are doing on a cross-community and jurisdictional level, our door is always open to them. Thank you all very much.
