I thank Ms Moran. That is crucial. A secondary school in my town recently joined the DEIS programme as well. It is crucial that we get all services delivered.

I have two final questions. The first is for Dr. Muldoon. The Department of Health established the national youth mental health task force in 2017. Dr. Muldoon might be able to describe the efforts to engage with relevant Departments to implement the pathfinder project.

On a question to Mr. Kelly, did Grow It Yourself link in with the school meals programme to encourage children to eat what they are growing? The school meals programme comes from the Department of Rural and Community Development as well. Mr. Kelly might also comment on the Sport Ireland question.

I have a question for Mr. Ó Cuanacháin, who spoke previously with committee members about the type of activities that Fighting Words does. I think what it does is amazing. That creativity and being able to open up a child's mind to see that the world does not have to be the world right now, and to see how they can perceive it in the future, is one of the fantastic things that Fighting Words does on a daily basis. I look forward to seeing that being rolled out even more. To have reached 240,000 students is a wonderful achievement.

That is the final round of questions so I also ask the witnesses to make their final comments.
