Yes. Just to explain my question, I am asking about situations where the family network is in another jurisdiction but the grandparents, for example, are living in Ireland - a situation where a care order has been given in another jurisdiction for those grandparents to care for the children, resulting in the children moving here. While they are getting a small allowance from another jurisdiction, it might not be an awful lot with which to maintain and support the children. What support does Tusla provide to them? I know that Tusla is supporting them, but they are not getting enough financial support.
