What happens then if the child is older?

Let's say they're moving into their teenage years and everything is changing in their lives and they have other interests.

Sure.

And something that they've spent years, you know, being really good at, really invested in suddenly is the last thing they want to do.

OK, just by verbalising how they felt about the good times and the bad times.

Sounds like when they're younger, we have to sort of lean in.

Yeah.

And then when they're older, we have to stand back a bit.

Yeah.

What about over committing to, which is a slightly different topic, but it's related, over committing to activities?

Because I think we all tend, we made a promise, didn't we, during COVID?

Oh, this is great.

We're not going to do any of these activities.

And then we went straight back into the ball.

Great advice as always.

Now, though, we move to these rumours circulating in Kerry that social housing is being allocated first to non-Irish people.

Local councillors want to counteract this rumour by having the nationalities of those who are awarded social housing released.

I'm joined by Labour TD for Limerick City, Conor Sheehan, who is also the party's spokesperson on housing, and Padraig Tobin, leader of the Aintú party.

party and thank you both for joining us.
