Yes. I promise I will be brief. Two things came out of this morning's session. One is the witnesses' obvious passion for the children of our nation and that they really want to get this sorted. I promise that in my role as a Senator I will ensure that we will continue with this today. Second, this afternoon we will be speaking to the Minister of State with responsibility for mental health, Deputy Jim Daly, and a representative from the HSE. I will probably hear a little of what was reflected by Dr. Doody and that there are lots of things in development, especially with the new hospital. This will take approximately four years, however. What will happen to the children today?
