I thank the Minister of State for that very comprehensive response. I am particularly interested in his reference to the SHY pilot. It is progressive and good. I am looking forward to monitoring and keeping up to date on that. The in-person consultation with the key stakeholders will provide very valuable feedback in terms of this Commencement matter. As the Minister of State said, all those 27 key objectives in the strategy are robust, strong and achievable. That is good to hear. This collaborative approach, and working closely with our city and county councils and councillors, who are the on ground working with people, will achieve the results. I always say to city and county councillors that it is up to them to keep asking the questions and to keep pushing the agenda in their local city and county council halls and seeing them through to delivery. It is important. The needs are complex, but Tusla has a huge role in all this too. That joined-up thinking to address those complex needs will make the difference. I thank the Minister of State again very much for his time here today and for his comprehensive response.
