I concur with some of the previous contributions on this. I hope this committee would support the recommendation of the education committee on lowering the age of recognition. I attended some of the debate on that and it was a full and vibrant debate. It is a recommendation from the Oireachtas committee as opposed to the Government's policy, so there is some work to be done in that regard. However, I hope that this committee will unequivocally support that recommendation and try to have it moved forward as quickly as possible.
