Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes. That is what we endeavour to do through supporting the Irish Foster Care Association. Last winter, or for 12 months from November 2019, we opened our out-of-hours social work service to include support to foster carers, which they had long sought and did not have before. We do make attempts to improve that experience to see if we can retain as many foster carers as possible and, indeed, if we can recruit more.
