I thank Professor Lucey for his contribution. It was sombre but sets the scene for the questions we need to go into. He outlined in a powerful way the challenges facing many children and their families who are trying to access supports and services.

I intend to end this session approximately 11 a.m., at which point we will bring in the representatives of the HSE for the second half of the meeting.
