I thank Ms Cahill. Last but not least I call Dr. MacNeela. I have listened to the call that consent education should be mandatory. It strikes me that if such education was mandatory in college and not everybody attended the class, potentially, a situation could arise. The Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, recently launched NUIG's SMART Consent workshops. At the launch she said attendance at sexual consent courses should be mandatory for students in all third level colleges and I share her view. What about the delegates? Obviously, they will respond to some of the other questions asked.
