I have two minutes left and that was the first one. Ms Keane has been in front of the AI committee already. Through this, I know she is calling for the Government to start gathering data to better understand what is needed in youth work and improve the outcomes. What data is collected and how it is collected will be important. I will move that one on because of the time.

Going back to staff, when we look at childcare, I totally understand that whenever there is a gap in these sectors and an issue arises, it is always the youth worker who is thrown in there, and quite often it is the voluntary youth worker. They do an exceptional job because they believe in what they are doing, but the skillset is the issue. What needs to change to make youth work a viable long-term career for people?
