I apologise for not being here for the witnesses' presentation. I was stuck in traffic. I wish them well. My colleague from Cavan-Monaghan referred to our Youthreach service. I am glad the witnesses know about it. He was right to say that we have three very good Youthreach centres which attract young people who have opted out of the education system. I support the view that the witnesses should continue to engage with such services. I live beside Ramor Theatre in Virginia, County Cavan, and the Livin' Dred theatre company, which is Padraic McIntyre's company. There is a great wealth of theatre in that area.
