When I say 11 May, it was the roadmap. Everybody knows me. I say it as it is and cannot fluff it. Perhaps one day in the height of frustration, from the Cork side of things when Deputy O'Sullivan, who is not here, highlighted issues to me, I said we would just go to Cork. I talked to my adviser and it was to have a Ministers' forum, not to undermine the parents' forum that is part of the PDS. Each of the 91 PDS teams should have parents' forums so parents have an opportunity to engage with their teams and discuss it. They should not have to go on "The Late Late Show" in any area. They should be able to iron it out locally and have a good working relationship. Children who come to the CDNT teams do not exit quickly. They can be there for some years and come out at 18. I had my forum and went to Crumlin. When I went to Ashbourne, I was supported. It is very welcome. I planned to visit every CHO in the first round. The experiences are similar right across. I am supported. There is a good working relationship, and I look forward to the roadmap we will publish jointly. It will hopefully address some of the issues raised here.
