Dr. Ciar?n Seoighe:

It was through a school submission; there was a good conversation about involving further research in the future. The Deputy also picked up on transdisciplinarity, which is important. It is a trend. There was a time when things were done in isolation, even in the research world; that has changed. We have gone from disciplines, to multidisciplinarity, to transdisciplinarity, where disciplines that are very far apart are now working together in new ways. That comes across in the campaign and the way people have engaged. There was also a human element to the campaign. When you talk to people, there is a lot of focus on health, particularly mental health. We had conversations with younger people who were worried about the mental health of older people and the impact of Covid-19. Older people were actually worried about the mental health of younger people, so there was a real human element of what people are concerned and worry about in these conversations. I thank the Deputy for reading the report and for giving it such an endorsement. I hope we can get it out as broadly as we can.
