Mr. Leo Galvin:

As far as engagement goes, if Ms Agrawal, Mr. O'Brien and I are the outliers, of whom I believe there are many more, many of us educate ourselves on these issues, as is evident.

We have had to do so because nobody chooses to go into the detail of them with us or inform us on them to the degree we are seeking. It is more about delving into the issue of people who are mildly interested. To get those people interested, aside from bribery, one could show them what the European Union has done for us. Many people do not even know about roaming charges. That was a massive piece of legislation and work done by the European Union. Not many young people are aware that this happened or that they existed. It is a matter of education. One cannot force a person into something in which he or she is not interested, but if you just tell them - I do not want to say it like this - the bare minimum, that can fuel their interest further. We believe the social, personal and health education, SPHE, and CSPE programmes are flawed because they do not complete the outcome they were designed to achieve. It is more a matter of considering those programmes and trying to change them.

As regards the Deputy's second question, one of the major topics currently for young people is transport. It has a lot to do with independence. In rural areas in particular, there is much discussion of climate change and going green, but if, in a virtuous attempt to do something, one takes away a person's ability to go anywhere, I cannot see how that benefits anyone. It would almost be better to target urban areas because although rural areas have a lot of emissions, targeting transport there is not a good idea, especially considering they have such a deficit in public transport.

I refer to general supports in schools in the context of mental health skills in particular, such as in respect of panic attack crises. I will not bring in the issue of child and adolescent mental health services, CAMHS, because it is far too large an issue. There is a need for general supports. CAMHS is an difficult system to get into, with long waiting lists for its therapists. I have never been in CAMHS but I know it is not an amazing system.
