I thank the witnesses again for their contributions. They have provided a good base of knowledge which will assist us in our discussions with the representatives from Young Ballymun and Preparing for Life on Thursday next. This meeting has given us a broad approach to the whole area and in our next meeting we will get into the specifics of how services are being managed on the ground in order to meet the needs of people and to deliver outcomes. This meeting has highlighted the need for us to start using the language of outcomes and to recognise that they must be a priority, rather than just outputs, as Ms Connolly said.
