I thank all the witnesses who are here this morning. They are always most welcome to the committee. Their opinions are very much valued, as is their input.

I will start with Mr. Irfan. I have two specific questions for him and then I have one that the panel might like to take. He spoke of eco-grief in his opening statement. Could he give the committee a better understanding of what that looks like for students at the moment, and what supports might be available in schools for them?

My second question relates to the leaving certificate climate action and sustainable development curriculum.

I know Mr. Irfan said in his opening statement that he is a member of the council of the NCCA. Does he think that the current curriculum as proposed is sufficient? What does he think the uptake of that subject will be among students?
