Ms Margaret Lowndes:

I thank the committee for inviting us. I have said it time and time again. The members are the only ones that can do this. They are the ones in charge. This is their job. There is a new Taoiseach coming on the scene soon. Members need to rally for our children. We are being let down constantly. Every single parent across the country is being let down. It is time now for change. We could talk about this day in, day out, and there probably are 40 other pages I could talk about but we need action. That is the top priority. We need action on the CDNTs, on education and then supporting all our support groups along the way. I think it is time to step up and make it happen for us.
