Dr. Cathy Corcoran:

I absolutely agree with Ms Sheridan on access and those opportunities to take advantage of those existing programmes and resources currently in place. I go back, and this was mentioned earlier, to the Department of Education and the focus on ensuring equity across all schools in Ireland to address the issues that are there with food poverty, access to equipment and supports in both society and the family and in schools. There is so much more to addressing the equity issue beyond technology and increasing that opportunity to pursue STEM and other careers for both girls and boys at the primary and secondary level. I thank the committee members for their time and wish them the best of luck with their work.
