Yeah, good morning.
Some are coming through the courts or that they're referred.
We're YDP, so we're Youth Diversion, which historically would have been Garda Youth Diversion.
So it's a referral process.
So candidates are referred in and we have referral meeting and...
There's a process in which they come on the programme.
Well, the aim is to take, as we're speaking about scrambler riders, who historically it would be, and culturally, generationally it would be, skills would have been passed down generational.
And what we're trying to do is we'll take scrambler, the illegal activity of scrambler riding and bring these riders into the very disciplined sport of motocross
which is very disciplined, sanctioned, with licenses, assessments, mandatory drug tests, and full safety training, first aid training.
Absolutely.
And it's a reward-based program.
So when you do this, you get this, not...
do this.
There's no punishment.
It's rewards based.
They come on and they learn to ride safely.
We have a coach, Stuart Edmonds, Seeker Racing.
He's our coach and we ride only on tracks.
Only.
Well, for the parents, their children are involved in dangerous, reckless community riding, which is by definition illegal and absolutely dangerous.
