I seek information from the Minister on the number of children in care in this country. I take this opportunity to commend the wonderful foster families we have in Ireland on the amazing and Trojan work they do to protect and save children. I also commend the excellent child care staff, many of whom are often working against the odds rescuing many hurt and damaged children. However, we need to improve and to be vigilant, and support these children.
