I propose to take Questions Nos. 482 and 483 together.
1,914 young adults aged 18-22 were in receipt of aftercare services at the end of the third quarter 2017. An additional 75 persons aged 23-25 and upwards also received aftercare services.
See the table below for a breakdown of this figure by area.
Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, has informed me that it does not collate data centrally regarding the number of young persons engaged with aftercare services who are registered with homeless services.
Area | The number of young adults aged 18-22 in receipt of an aftercare service * | The number of young adults aged 18 years and up, incld.those 25 or older in receipt of an aftercare service* |
