Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

It is because they have been in high support special care units that I am concerned. The fact that they were in those settings means they had particular requirements and high support needs. The position for them is not the same as that for everyone else who reaches the age of 18 years and moves into young adult life. It would be very important to obtain some of the specific details relating to the specific supports which applied to them. I would welcome it if such information was obtained. If possible, I would like to gain some sense of how matters are with these young people. We need to take an ongoing interest in their welfare.
