Ms Hannah Morton:

We yearn for a space we can truly call our own, a haven where we can access information tailored to our age group. Imagine a place where we can find signposts to mental health services, employment opportunities and vital support networks and is a space that nurtures our growth and well-being.

I will turn to the wider impact of public transport. Our plea extends beyond our generation. The need for better public transport affects everyone. It is about accessibility, connectivity and environmental responsibility. When we improve transport options, we uplift entire communities. I ask our dear leaders to let us collaborate and to create a dedicated youth centre that will be a beacon of empowerment and a place where our dreams can take root and where we can learn, connect, and thrive. Let us invest in our future, recognising that better services for young people benefit us all. I thank members for listening and suggest that we work together to build a brighter tomorrow where no young person feels overlooked or left behind.

I will now pass to Eric from Galway.
