At the start of the shared island unit, I had a Commencement matter, because I am very interested in this area, on having a BT young scientist-style project for the shared island unit where children from all over the island would think about the future, about Ireland and about how we would navigate into their adulthood. We all know they are not shackled by budgetary concerns and all of those things. We often do not make changes because of other constraints but they are not constrained by those things and are ambitious. If there was an opportunity for that BT young scientist type idea, the imagination, creativity and ambition of our young people would be a great project for the shared island unit because that is the whole reasoning behind the unit. We are on the way out; they are on the way in.
