I have learned so much today. I cannot thank the witnesses enough for the phenomenal work they are doing.

I am definitely going to educate myself much more about this issue. As the witnesses have really conveyed today, the worry is around people who are undiagnosed, living with stress and anxiety and being unable to socialise. To be honest, it is devastating. The work the organisations are doing should be rolled out across the country. The one-stop shop and no wrong door approach are great ideas. All of the things that were brought up today are absolutely vital. When we are doing our report, we will certainly include the recommendations the witnesses have given us today. That is for sure. I thank all of the witnesses from ADHD Ireland and the Changing Lives Initiative for their assistance to the committee on this matter and for coming in today.
