I commend Deputy Canney on keeping going with this. I believe we need to adopt the strategy. I am here fighting, as everyone is. I know everyone is trying to do their best. It is important that we make these changes and try to do what we can to support this. I fully support it. I am just concerned that, while it is good to have everyone is here, we need to work together. All Departments need to work together to see what we can do to change a system that is failing. I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me in.
