Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Catherine Noone: It is hard to come up with something fresh after two hours of discussion, but I wholeheartedly agree with much of what Deputy Funchion said. I also concur with Mr. Church on primary schools. Do children start first year of secondary school at 11 or 12 years of age? In any event, by the time children reach the teenage years, many of their core skills are very much developed. Although they...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Catherine Noone: It is interesting how we interact with the language Mr. Power uses. I would say we are all responsible for our behaviour and we develop culturally in ways whereby we act and interact with things differently.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Catherine Noone: Senator Warfield failed to mention that Senator Mac Lochlainn is from a Traveller background. He has been a passionate advocate in the Seanad, and previously in the Dáil, and I do not understand why he would not be on the committee Senator Warfield mentioned. This is totally out of left field, but I have a question for Professor Dodd on the legalisation of cannabis. There has been...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Youth Mental Health: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Oct 2019)
