I am absolutely proud. Mr. Hughes referred to the clinical nurse specialist and advanced nurse practitioner roles and how we have to bring down the criteria. There are many easy solutions there.

I want to end with the two words that simplify the crisis: Linn Dara. I have raised it every day in the Seanad on countless occasions. I keep throwing the name out and keep accosting Ministers when I see them in the corridors, appealing to them to bring back the 11 beds. It is easily done. We should simply do it because that really tells us about our commitment to child mental health services.

It was great to meet all the witnesses and I am sure we will all work well together in future. Many thanks to gorgeous Joan, Senator Freemman, as well.
