While I have no specific comment to make in respect of the PSNI programme to which the Deputy refers, I would broadly welcome any initiative which aims at addressing the needs of vulnerable young people. For a number of years, the community relations section of the Garda Síochána has operated a schools programme dealing with a range of issues, including safety of young people.
