I am sorry, as I had to go to another committee. We get killed if we do not attend our committees, so I was trying to bilocate.
From doing community work, I know that it is exhausting. People spend all of their time filling out forms and they are not sure whether they will get anything out of it. I can see from the witnesses that there is a tiredness, in that they have been at this craic for years and they are wondering where it is all going. Would their request be for something new or just more supports for community development workers, including staff increases? Should I speak to the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, about a special programme for the greening of the islands? How can we help?
