I am conscious of time. I thank Dr. O'Higgins. I like the emphasis on positivity, as in positive sexual behaviour as opposed to just talking about all the negative elements. Will Dr. O'Higgins refer to the importance of students taking in these programmes at a younger age and before reaching third level? Obviously, the results of the survey give rise to concern. Will Dr. MacNeela address the importance of adopting a holistic strategy to this, so that it is not just in one classroom with one teacher, but right across the school or youth group? I have a question about a whole of culture and societal change, which we absolutely need to have. To ensure consistency and accuracy of information, if outside bodies are delivering, they need to be regulated by the HSE or Department to ensure that there is not an inherent bias in another way.
