I have just one more question. Given that we are under time pressure, the witnesses might come back to me on this after the meeting. I am looking for details on the turnover of social workers. It is my understanding that it is quite high but perhaps the witnesses might be able to give us the numbers very quickly. Is Tusla having difficulties with retaining staff in this area? It has been brought to my attention that because of the remuneration levels, it can be quite difficult to retain staff. That has been reported to me anecdotally. I ask the witness to provide some figures now and to provide a more detailed analysis as a follow-up.
