It is great to have Hannah and Sarah, who are both from Dundalk, here. I welcome all the other witnesses as well. I appreciate them taking the time to appear. It may be a good idea for the Cathaoirleach and I to have a proper chat with them after the meeting and talk in detail about some of the issues, but I absolutely hear what they are saying about the Toberona and Fatima area in particular. As it is on the periphery of Dundalk, it is consistently forgotten about, not only in terms of the youth services to which our guests have referred, but also in the context of road maintenance and maintenance of local playing pitches. Hannah and Sarah mentioned Cox's, for example, which has many supports. It is the same with Muirhevnamore or other parts of Dundalk. Are there other parts of the town that they believe are getting more resources than places like the area from which they come?
