That would be helpful. I was involved in a project in Cork for many years that focused on young people who had dropped out of school. We reviewed the programme of training we were providing because An Garda Síochána referred many of the young people we worked with to us. We reviewed the people who had gone through the programme in earlier years to see how they had fared since. It involved looking at their employment and accommodation situation, etc. It was a good review. Has Tusla undertaken a review, say, five years after people have left foster care or residential care, to find out where they are, what they are doing and what levels of support they require? Has Tusla undertaken such a review to see if there might be a need to amend the system in place?
