We can come into this House and be critical of people or entities but we need to do so in a manner that is constructive. As Senator Hopkins rightly said, it is important that a strategy is put in place to work with the families on a pathway to services for young people. I reiterate my support in that regard.

Senator Nash raised the issue of migrant workers, in particular migrant fisherman. The point he made is important and I will endeavour to provide time for a debate on the issue of exploitation.

Senator O'Reilly commended the Minister, Deputy Ring, on the introduction of the rural regeneration grants. We all commend the Minister, Deputy Ring, on his recent announcement in that regard and on the importance and priority he places on rural Ireland.
