Dr. Niall Muldoon:

On the issue of the pathfinder project, my understanding is the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has told the Department of Health it needs to take control of the pathfinder legislation. My understanding is there is some proposal in with the Attorney General for decision, and I will be pushing to get that out as quickly as possible, even if it needs to be adjusted. I said earlier on that we can still create a pathfinder project office without the legislation in place. We could do it on an administrative basis for a period of time and allow ourselves a bit of leeway while we get that legislation sorted out. I am seriously disappointed with the fact the idea was established in 2014 and we are still only looking at the legislation options now. That should have been done a long time ago. It could have even happened within the national youth task force in 2017 where we have had two years to put that together. That is unfortunate from my point of view and I would love if we could get it established before the fall of this Government.

On social media and online communication, I will pass on to my colleague, Dr. McAuley. There is that sense that we have children and young people here. There are still many young people and children who are very good at the communications side of things, but the Deputy is saying there is that possibility that cultural change will happen. From my point of view, the real answer will be in education. How we establish our culture will come from the four year olds upwards.
