Mr. Robert Whiteley:

I work with Mr. Perth as a street worker in the Connect 4 Project. In my experience, for many of the young people we meet, the damage is unfortunately already done as a result of years of trauma and stuff they have inherited from their siblings, mothers and fathers. On the groups we work with out in Tallaght, I will talk a bit about the Run with Rob initiative. We basically took a group of young men from Tallaght, the lads who hang around hotspots and so on, and used physical activity as a tool of engagement to get them involved in positive initiatives with us. I am a bit lost for words.
