I thank the Minister for coming before the committee. I have a question on foster care placements. Is there any expected impact on these services because I note in the general scheme of the Bill, there is a mention of an amendment to ensure that payments coming from the British authorities will not be taxed in Ireland? I am guessing from that this relates to cross-Border fostering. How many cross-Border fostering placements do we have? Regardless of the deal, will this have an impact on the children who are in foster care?
