I would agree. I do not want to follow up with any further questions. I just want to read some of the words from one of the many representations that I have received. It states: "Why fund us? Because we deserve equality. We are not funded and therefore financially burdened, carrying up to €30,000 in debt before we even start our careers. We work unpaid for children and families facing significant difficulties in relation to mental health, disabilities and education from birth to adulthood. There is precedent now, and we need our voices heard."
