I welcome all of the delegations. I have a number of questions, the first of which I will direct to Inclusion Ireland. Its submission mentions that 87% of its clients have returned to their school settings or adult services. What proportion or percentage of its membership attends school and what proportion or percentage attends adult day services? Many Deputies will know of people who avail of adult day services. The situation has been very difficult for their families. Many of these people have not returned to their services. Some of those who have returned are only attending for one day a week whereas they may have attended for four and a half or five days last year. Will the representatives of Inclusion Ireland comment on the situation for people attending adult services?
