Ms Newman has done a very good job, along with Ms Lawless and Mr. Gilvarry, in outlining how everybody’s situation is completely unique, how everybody has different family supports, and how everybody’s financial situation is so different. One of the comments she made in her opening statement was how important it was to be able to go at her own pace when she was trying to access education. Could she talk a little bit about that, please? I will come to Ms Lawless in a minute because the question of how one supports someone at a higher level is very important. For Ms Newman, how important for her was going at her own pace?
