I have a couple questions. An awful lot has been covered. I thank the witnesses for the amazing work they are doing. The work they do is mind-blowing. I wish to start by thanking them for what they do.

I am aware the HSE’s social inclusion office does much work in this area. I heard a member of that office speak at a mental health reform event a few months ago and she was extremely passionate and well informed. It was refreshing to hear how passionate she was.

Perhaps I will start with Ms Coyle. What experiences has she had with the social inclusion office? I note she put in a few recommendations. If the officials were listening today, what does she think their priorities should be? They want to learn as much as the rest of us. I will ask everybody this question. What are the priorities for the social inclusion office?
