That would be great.

I read with interest Focus Ireland's recent report which showed that of 119 children leaving care, 14 children were homeless and 22 were facing the risk of becoming homeless. These are children leaving care and moving on to independent living. What could the committee do to support these children? What difficulties do these young adults face?
