Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I am not familiar with the particular service or programme but from what the Deputy has told me, it seems to be very successful and it seems to be a very good one. I am told there is another transition pilot programme for school leavers which involves 20 schools in Dublin and elsewhere looking after children over two years. I will certainly take on board what the Deputy has said today. I will speak to the Minister of State, Deputy Rabbitte, and see if there is a way it can be funded. I am sorry I cannot give a better answer than that. I am happy to follow up on it.
