We have had a very productive committee meeting. I thank all of the witnesses for their insights and experience. We ask them to please collaborate further. I can totally appreciate that balance because we all have to juggle every day deciding what is more important. Most certainly, this is an opportunity to work together. I can even see the synergy today between everyone, in terms of picking up different issues and where all the witnesses work. We all have the same endgame, which is to support our young people at every level, but in this case, in third level. In addition, we try to prevent situations where they are presenting with mental health challenges. Life is stressful enough as it is, without all of the challenges that the past few years have thrown at us. I thank Deputies and Senators as well.

The meeting is now adjourned.
