I have asked that committee members would get a copy of that leaflet from the Department of Education. I was not aware of it either. One of the issues that came up at the committee was that of emotional councillors being appointed to schools and whether that could be rolled out on a trial basis in some way. We will work with the Department of Education on that.
I thank the witnesses for coming before us and it is deeply appreciated. They are a credit to themselves and to their school community. I thank them for replying to the questions put to them by the members. Unfortunately, there are a small number of members present today. Many members are from the country and they could not travel to Leinster House today due to the storm and weather conditions.
The meeting is adjourned until 11 a.m. on Tuesday, 14 December 2021 when it will meet in private session on MS Teams.
