I echo my colleagues' congratulations. The presentation represents extraordinary learning as well as creativity on the part of those involved. Just the way they spoke, the power of their voices and the way they began and ended - all of that adds to the impact of what they do. I congratulate them.

I have one or two questions. When they ended their presentation, I was thinking about where they were going with this. I am glad Deputy Anne Ferris already mentioned the Minister for Education and Skills. I was going to make the same recommendation.

I want to know what the witnesses' plans are. Can they say a little more about developing this short course on human trafficking for the junior certificate and also the educational app on trafficking? Have they been in touch with anybody to help support them in doing that? Are they still working on this initiative as part of transition year?
