I will conclude with one very brief comment. It is very clear that the resources that have been put at the disposal of Cork Life Centre are not nearly enough. What speaks to that more clearly than anything that has been said in the committee today, with respect, is the fact that eight staff were lost from Cork Life Centre, which does such vital work in Cork city and beyond. That is eight staff in one summer alone. Clearly, the measures that are in place fall well short. This is clearly an issue that needs to be addressed with far greater urgency. I will leave it at that.
