Ms Sinéad Keane:

It is important to listen to the lived experiences of young people and believe what they say. In this case, we are hearing them tell us through many different sources - I will supply the Senator with them following the meeting - that this is how they are feeling. It is important. As youth organisations, we believe in the power of the youth voice and what young people are telling us. In this instance, that is very much how I look at it.
