Are these groups engaging, will they engage and can they be linked up with the shared island unit? Perhaps they are already. This is very important.

Moreover, what plans do these groups have to develop because it is important that we as a committee get their plans in order that we can do everything we can to invoke pressure on the Government. This is also important, where there is a tremendous amount of talk about the £300 million in the Department of Finance in Stormont. We should use our pressure as a committee to invoke movement where we can to make life easier for these organisations and, in particular, to develop these services. As I said earlier, these organisations are doing fantastic work and the key to moving forward to deal with these transgenerational issues is through people like our guests.
