It was great.

I have a real passion not just for education but for the children from West Belfast. I have to declare an interest, and the reason is that my dad's family — the Butlers — come from west Belfast. I skinned my knees in Springmartin and Highfield from the late 1970s and through the 1980s, and I ran about with a lot of young people there at that time. They are not so young now; we are in our 50s. There are schools up there that no longer exist. There was a school up in Springmartin. I remember its image, but it is no longer there. In fact, some of my family have to travel to schools in north Belfast — the Boys' Model, for instance.

It is perverse that there are areas and borders on maps of Northern Ireland that show places where, statistically, our children are failed. I am a Butler from Lagan Valley, and there are Butlers in West Belfast who are every bit as bright, clever and talented. However, the statistics will say that, potentially, they may face a more difficult challenge in their educational attainment or achievement. That is not indicative of the person or the families; it is indicative of a societal problem that we have allowed to develop over many years. We absolutely must get to grips with it. I will give Mr Sheehan absolute credit for this: there probably has not been an Education Committee meeting at which he has not tussled with that one, and that has been the case for a while.

I am really pleased to speak about the matter, because, sadly, educational underachievement blights many sections of the community, particularly those who struggle with poverty. The problem is not merely an educational challenge but a societal one. When children grow up in disadvantaged environments, the odds are already stacked against them. Many schools in those areas face significant hurdles, including higher levels of disadvantage, which have already been talked about, and higher levels of additional needs. Mr Baker mentioned the higher levels of need among some of our students. When you go around those schools, you often find that some of them are in the greatest state of disrepair, unfortunately, which has a fundamental effect on the therapeutic environment in which children learn. However, our schools, teachers and support staff do phenomenal work, despite the challenges being, sadly, greater.

I have witnessed first-hand the transformative power of Sure Start. Only a couple of weeks ago, I managed to visit a number of Sure Start centres in West Belfast, one of which was Clan Mór, which is on or just off the Falls Road. It is not off the Falls Road. Clan Mór is beside — what do you call the big church, Pat?
