Mr. Bernard Gloster:
Sure. In that context, we are on record as saying the allowance that was set at that period has not kept step with time and there is a requirement for it to be reviewed. To be fair, we have much agreement with the Minister and the Department around working through that as part of an overall approach to improving foster care. The allowance is €352 per week per child over the age of 12 and €325 per week per child under the age of 12.
