============================================================

Heather Humphreys (FG), Cavan-Monaghan

Yes, and that is why we have a Minister of State with responsibility for older people. I can only speak of what my Department is trying to do. I am also happy to work with the Minister of State with responsibility for mental health and older people, Deputy Butler, to progress any suggestions she might have in terms of how we can work with older people. We meet with Age Friendly Ireland. There is a lot of work in my other Department through the library services and how we can engage older people to take on different courses and learn new skills in that space. I take the Deputy's point and am happy to work with the Minister of State.
