I raised this issue in the committee. It would be on the Minister's radar. I thought there might be some crossover or intersection where a person is 18 and leaving care. Some people, when they leave care at 18, might not necessarily avail of one of the aftercare housing schemes and so on. Some may not come under the umbrella of what falls under the Minister's Department. I may be wrong in thinking that and such cases might fall under social welfare in the case of an independent adult who is no longer receiving aftercare from the State. Some people may need to be captured in both systems. I will continue to pursue this matter.
