I join in congratulating Dr. Muldoon on his appointment as Ombudsman for Children. In due course the committee will invite him to outline his views on his office.

I speak for all the committee members who were there when I share the joy we experienced at holding our meeting at the Comhairle na n-Óg event in Croke Park. I want to thank all the officials in the Department of Children and Youth Affairs for their involvement in the organisation of that wonderful day, which the Minister rightly said was a showcase of what is good about our young people. It was a wonderful occasion and we had a brilliant experience. I thank everybody for being involved.
