I am sorry I missed Mr. Allen's presentation but I have read the document provided to the committee.

The support that Focus Ireland indicated is required - Ms Lambe focused on this in particular - is the idea of providing child support workers for children. I am assuming that she is not referring to one-to-one support. The committee discussed this matter and is of the view that it would be completely unrealistic. Given that there is a shortage of social workers, what number does she have in mind? We have to try to be realistic in our expectations.
