I will be very brief and I am not picking on any individual here but I can remember in my former role as spokesperson on mental health that DCU was the very first educational body to bring me in as a spokesperson to meet with the students inside. It was so open and normalised and we had pizza. I can see how that has moved and progressed, perhaps not as fast as we might have hoped. Certainly, this is very encouraging. If there is any kind of support that we can provide we are also here to help because as Ms Early said at the outset, this is a no-brainer and is a win-win for everybody. Hopefully, we will push this idea as far and as hard as we can. I thank the Chairman.
