It is great to see representation from so many bodies. I thank the witnesses for their opening statements. I come from Roscommon and I have worked closely with Youth Work Ireland, Foróige and the National Youth Council. They all have representation down there and their staff on the ground deserve huge credit for what they are doing. I just want to put that on the record. Ms Keane mentioned providing young people with accurate information. We are in a time now when people are competing for so much information. We are constantly dealing with it. She mentioned that there was a collaboration project between the National Youth Council, SpunOut and one or two other bodies. Do the five bodies here today work collaboratively on anything themselves rather than just the national youth strategy? Are they constantly engaging with one another? They are indeed. Are they directly competing with one another for resources in each locality?
