Mr. Cormac Quinlan:

There was another question in regard to advocacy groups. We hugely value the role of Atlantic Philanthropies, AP, Extern Ireland and various other organisations. Mr. McBride mentioned initiatives he is trying to develop to consider more creative community solutions to see if young people who may currently be in residential care could be supported in a more robust way at home or in the community setting, and those organisations may have a role to play in that. We have to be careful because a concern has been raised by the committee that Tusla not pass on its statutory responsibilities to other organisations. Therefore, we still have to lead those interventions and a social worker or social care worker may still be needed to lead that intervention with the support of an advocacy group or others.
