Before we move on, I note that we have some students in the Gallery and it may be of note to them that we are dealing with statements on diverting young people from criminal activity. They may be able to read it on the board. Just in case they cannot, I draw their attention to it. The debate was adjourned yesterday and we are continuing with it today. It is an interesting topic for them.

Before I call Deputy Ó Muirí, I first welcome some visitors from County Wexford in the Visitors Gallery. We have Louise Byrne who is very used to youth work, and her brother Jude, who are here with their granny from County Mayo. They are very welcome and I hope they find this debate on how we can divert young people from criminal activity very interesting.
