I have been blown away. We have in mind minorities and the 1,200 children in direct provision. We have in mind children from Traveller backgrounds. While we did not have them before the committee today, we are mindful of them. I thank Mr. Duffy and Ms Lennon for reminding us of them.

Ms Helen noted that we all have responsibility for our mental health. Inter-agency co-operation seems to be the key measure to ensure that the child is at the forefront rather than whether a person is a social worker, psychiatrist, occupational therapist or none of the above. It is about the child. If we get that right, I think we can go a long way on the legislative reforms. I thank all our witnesses for being inspiring.
