One must ask where we would be without them, collectively. On that note of appreciation for the work foster carers do, I thank the witnesses for their attendance. The committee is agreeing that the Clerk will follow up on any of the information requested by members from witnesses directly. They will liaise with the clerk to get the volume of information. There are figures in the Tusla report on grants over €50,000. I do not want to be flooded with pages here which would waste the witnesses' and the committee's time. I ask people to reach a practical solution. If the committee wants more information, we will go back and forth. I think the witnesses understand. We ask that they be as efficient and helpful as possible all in the same go. I thank those attending from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, Tusla, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
