By way of information, I passed on a note there. Comhairle na nÓg is like the youth version of county councils. The former joint policing committees are now community safety partnerships. Probably two years ago, just after lockdown, we interacted with the Meath Comhairle na nÓg. It chose a project every two to three years. The feedback from the members, from all the young people, was not quite that they wanted the bejaypers scared out of themselves but they wanted to know the harms of all the different substances. They made a video and I will link in and get that information. We have a drugs task force and a board of management meeting online tonight, so I will get that information. I will check the permission and share it with the secretariat. Many thanks. If ever a hand is needed on the scaling up of the escape room, please count me in. I will try to attend as many as I can.
