It may be about looking at how we open that up. I thank the witnesses and I appreciate them giving their time to the committee today. We should invite Mr. Kelly to set up a garden in the Oireachtas. We would benefit greatly from growing our own vegetables and eating well, although I suppose we eat well in our canteen here. We also have a wonderful library here. Today's discussion has been productive on an issue of great importance. I commend all the witnesses on their Trojan efforts to support young people in innovative and creative ways. I speak on behalf of all committee members when I say that their insights accentuate the positive in young people and proactively promote good mental health.
