I do. I thank Ms Watters for what she said. I was in Belfast last summer and met some people who had also tried to de-escalate what was happening in interface areas. They said the youth workers were out on the ground and they spoke about the role they play. I thank the witnesses for that. I would take this opportunity to say, and I am sure everyone will agree with me, that is why we need the Assembly up and running. The work of the witnesses is targeted, sensitive and attuned to what is happening on the ground. I am sure the Fine Gael members present and others will support them.
