It is shocking. I thank Mr. Donnellan. Mr. Bergin and I know each other from the children's committee and I am delighted he is here today. One of my questions relates to the release of children from Oberstown. What programmes are involved and how does the ACTS team work with the community to integrate these children? I have been to Oberstown and I have seen the wonderful work Mr. Bergin and his staff are doing out there. However, I have a concern about vulnerable children who have come from addiction and violent backgrounds and how they are reintegrated to have a reasonable chance at life.
