My second question is to Mr. Pat Carey and Mr. Shane Brennan. Mr. Carey touched on the need for a careful and thoughtful approach in Ireland. On the resource issue, Mr. Carey said there is an important role for the education sector. Can a programme or the education sector prevent a young child who is living in a very negative situation and who has very low self-esteem at age ten, 11, 12 or 13 years going down the road of drug addiction? Is there such a successful programme nationally or internationally?
