I thank the witnesses for their informative submission and responses. This time last year, I was driving to Leinster House during what must have been fostering fortnight, to which they referred, as an interview on Sean O'Rourke's programme with a couple who had fostered many, many times and gone on to adopt was broadcast. It raised the matter in my consciousness as something to be explored later in life. It was such a powerful piece. Everyone needs recognition and acknowledgment. One of my other policy interests is the arts. Artists go continually ignored and unrewarded. How can we give greater recognition and acknowledgement to social workers?
