Noel Grealish (Galway West, Independent)

I thank Senator Costello for raising the issue. I will bring to the attention of the Minister what the Senator has raised. I am not aware of what the hold-up is regarding going through Northern Ireland and what the delay is.

Going on what the Senator is saying, she is very passionate about this and is anxious to get this over the line. Genuinely, I do not have the answers for her; I have the script here from the Department. What I will do is bring it back to the Minister and ask that she respond directly to the Senator as to why we cannot go through Northern Ireland or what the hold-up is and the delay on getting this through. I hear what the Senator says. It is much needed, badly needed and seriously needed for young people for their improvement in life. I will bring that to the attention of the Minister. I thank the Senator.
