Mr. Pat Smyth:

I will go a bit wider. The statutory amount we paid out on foster care last year was €86 million, which was for all kids under 18 years. For aftercare, we paid out €27 million, an increase of approximately €2.5 million on the previous year, which has been an increasing trend in recent years. On other care costs, which include adoption, etc., we paid out approximately €8 million. We paid a total of €121 million in statutory care last year. In addition, we had private foster care provision with approximately 500 children in the care of private care or managed through private foster carers, to whom we paid out just under €25 million. In total, between the statutory payments for foster care, aftercare and independent or private foster carers, the figure amounts to roughly €145 million. The Deputy raised another question about private residential.
