I thank all the Deputies who contributed to this debate. As a House, we should have ambitions for our young people. If the extent of the ambition of some of the Deputies here is to have young people signing on at 18 and staying like that for a long period of time, that is wrong. Deputy Catherine Murphy had the honesty to say that her preference was for education, training and employment opportunities.
