I do not have qualitative data from Tusla on that. I have no doubt that in some circumstances the lack of mental health supports is probably a driver for creating a system where a family breakdown could perhaps have been prevented and is not prevented because of a lack of supports, leading to a child going into foster care or the wider alternative care system. I do not have qualitative data on the cause and result, however.
