Before I invite Mr. Burgess and Mr. de Búrca to make their concluding remarks, I strongly endorse Deputy Barrett's comments on the need for all of us to create a better awareness. This was also referred to by Deputy Crowe. Does Irish Aid run a programme with schools involving, for example, the like of ourselves or officials speaking about Irish Aid? The green flag programme has been successful in creating awareness of the environment, not just among schoolchildren, but also among families. Perhaps there is an opportunity to have a better dissemination of information through second level schools and the third level. It would be important.
