Mr. Bernard Gloster:

The feedback I have had on the programme is that it has been life-altering in a positive sense for some young people who are very disadvantaged and marginalised, even within our system. The Deputy is pushing an open door with me on it. This is what I mean when I talk about Tusla being local. Having local flexibility to be able to respond locally within the parameters set in policy and without going completely off page is what children require. Children do not live in policy boxes. I do not dispute the value of the programme.
