I guarantee it. I have spent three years working on this. The first fire that I had to put out when I took over as Minister of State with responsibility for disability issues was school leavers. All the things the Deputy said were true and it was a nightmare. Families did not know, in May and June, where their 18 year old was going to go in September. The answer is that I can guarantee it. We have guaranteed the funding and resources so that every single school leaver will have a place in a day service in September. I ask the Deputy to come back to me immediately if there are any breaches of that.
