Mr. John Gilmore:

I thank the committee for having us and we would welcome any members who want to visit local youth services within their areas to contact us. We could open gates for them. Many members know those involved in their local services, but we can help with introductions if necessary. With regard to savings, all Members of the Oireachtas received a comprehensive review of expenditure from Youth Work Ireland on savings and on protecting the youth work sector. We highlighted savings of up to €1 billion, through investment in youth work. The Seanad would have heard about the latest NYCI report. If Members want to discuss any of these issues, our door is always open - 20 Dominick Street.
