Dr. Matthew Crowe:

I cannot think of the names off the top of my head but wherever there is a river trust would be a good example. There is one in Donegal and Inishowen that is really good. There is also one for the Moy as well. These are examples of very good practice.

The other problem with this is that one size will not fit all. We will not be able to take something that works somewhere and replicate it everywhere else. The issues will be different, including levels of interest. Young people must be more engaged. In the Water Forum we must consider where are the young people as the youth are not represented here. The Water Forum is the stakeholder forum for water issues and it is something I, as the new chair, want to look at. I want to see how we can get those young people more engaged with the conversation. They are very engaged on climate action, as the Chairman has said, and to be honest, from the perspective of a typical member of the public, there is no distinction between water or climate. Climate is the driving force now so why not take advantage of that, and in dealing with climate issues we can ensure we also deal with water quality and nature issues? They are all connected. That is certainly one way to approach the matter.
