I thank the witnesses for their presentations, which are much appreciated. I will address my questions to Ms Lawlor first. She studied at UCC. As a Corkman, that is a good starting point. In her submission she stated, "Ireland's own Garda diversion scheme provides some insight into the benefits of diverting young people away from criminal systems, with a vast majority of adolescents who go through this scheme not reoffending in their lifetime, evidence that investing in personal development, instead of punishment, works". Will she expand on that and her findings?
