Absolutely. It is very difficult for parents and family members. It is difficult for the schools as well. We want a solution that works for schools. They should not be put in a position where they are forced to do this. It has been proposed that the NCSE should be able to make plans with schools for what will happen down the line. In some cases, there is uncertainty from month to month about where a child will be placed. There has to be a better system out there. I will hand back to the Minister.
