Yes. I have a question for Ms Connolly. A common theme we have heard from people who have come before us over the past number of weeks is one of the big causes of anxiety amongst children of school-going age can be parental behaviour. Is there anything that can be done to inform parents? If parents have addiction issues then in fairness those are probably beyond their control. However, for parents who are not aware of the impact their behaviour can have on children, is there anything that can be done to educate or inform them about that?
