I apologise for hogging the speaking time. Another group of children from those families that are often forgotten about are those who do not play football, soccer, Gaelic football or hurling. They are the other 15%, as we used to call them, who are not into that kind of stuff. They are left hanging around disadvantaged areas or blocks of flats where they are totally exposed. My point is that we need to get in there early with creative services to nab those kids before it is too late.
