I will be very quick, Chair. With the Sylvia Plath reference earlier, I wish all in the White household, and everyone facing exams, the very best. I want to end in a positive note on the role of students. There are often negative connotations when talking about mental health. However, there are huge positive roles that students and young people play. I am conscious of what we see in the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, in Young Social Innovators, in Young Social Entrepreneurs, YSE, in Comhairle na nÓg, with the student councils in place and with the central roles of students themselves. Even when we had that engagement with Kinsale and Tallaght Community Schools, they both talked about the idea of young people as ambassadors. In Wexford, we had the Meitheal programme in the past. We need to stress positive mental health and the role of young people and students.
