Mr. Pat Smyth:
Yes. Regarding the investment for this year, as Ms Duggan said, we got an extra €10 million to support the increase in foster care allowances. This was referred to earlier. The commitment has been to raise them and we have now raised the weekly foster care allowances by just over 9%. By the end of the year, those rates will be up to 20% extra. That is quite a significant increase in those.
