I welcome the witnesses to the committee. As a mammy, it has been an interesting listen. I have learned a few things. This type of learning is for every parent. We engage in courses to do many different things and parenting courses, as Mr. Buttery said, are often looked at with prejudice or scepticism, and they should not be. We should all be learning to improve ourselves in many different ways. The HSE will be appearing before the committee in the next part of this meeting. The head of operations for disability services will be appearing. How can we advocate for the witness organisations in the next meeting? What is the institutional blind spot that is resulting in this not being a default? What can we ask for in the next meeting? The next meeting is not for us; it is for the witnesses' organisations and the families they deal with.

I am interested in the family carers roll-out. It seems fantastic. Who is paying for that-----
