Before I hand back to the witnesses, I would like to ask about one point. This committee has submitted a number of reports and recommendations to the Minister regarding different aspects of education. Deputy Catherine Martin referred to our report on positive mental health. We recently heard from witnesses on healthy eating and managing a healthy life in schools. As part of that, we discussed the presence of vending machines in schools, and the fact that they contain chocolate, crisps and things like that. We also discussed the availability of drinking water in schools and how important that is. If that came up at any stage in Comhairle na nÓg's research, it would be interesting to hear a little bit about it.
