I thank Deputy Costello for raising that important matter. Before we move on, because this is my first opportunity to do so, I want to extend my congratulations to the Minister of State, Deputy Chambers, on his appointment as the deputy leader of his party. I am conscious that in my role over the last number of years, we spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into trying to encourage more diverse participation in politics. Young people are among those groups we want to see coming forward. To see a young deputy leader being appointed and joining a young Taoiseach is a move in the right direction. Well done to you.
