I, too, wish Ms McLaughlin well and thank her for all her help and work during the short time I have been Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. In regard to Deputy Ó Caoláin's remark that she was not over-stretched today, I do not believe she is over-stretched in that she is more than capable of dealing with all that comes her way.

I also thank the committee for its time and courtesy today. I look forward to working with it during the next 12 months to ensure we get the best we can out of the services in place for the children of our country.
