Never mind the legislation. We have people in limbo. This is an 11-year-old child whose mother, brother and sister are in danger. The child is only 11. Everybody has washed their hands of this child. His placement has been certified as an actual residential provision placement, but there is no residential provision. That is why I am asking. The Department had €95 million and it gave it back. What is the problem that the Department has not taken over the CDNTs?
