I thank Mr. Gloster. A good foster care placement can make all the difference for a child. Mr. Gloster indicated that for the 12 to 18 years category, €350 is provided per week. That is fine, but what happens when the child reaches 18 and, for example, is still in education? What is the follow-through there? That could be a cliff edge for a household that would be doing a great job but which would not have the financial wherewithal. How is that dealt with?
