I thank Mr. McCarthy. I will ask the IPRT one question while I have time. Previous reports indicated that there was a disproportionately high number of young people aged between 18 and 24 in prison. This suggests that intervention supports at an early stage are either absent or ineffective. It follows on from what Mr. McCarthy said. Will either Ms Joyce or Ms McCreery speak to that?
