The article highlights Grace's troubling experience upon leaving foster care, noting her inadequate support and distress over unresolved questions following the Farrelly Commission's report. Caroline Burke, an advocate for Grace, observed her poor living conditions during their meeting in 2009, including tattered clothes and lack of proper hygiene. The significant investment of â¬13.6 million into a 2,000-page report by the commission ultimately leaves Grace and others like her still seeking clarity and resolution, emphasizing the ongoing challenges within the foster care system.
"When Caroline Burke first met Grace in 2009, she was struck by her 'old, tattered' clothes and oversized LA Gear shoes that hadn't been on sale since the 1990s."
"Grace left the care of her foster family just as she had arrived as a child - utterly bereft, with more questions than answers yielded by the long overdue report by the Farrelly Commission, at a cost of â¬13.6m and running to 2,000 pages with no summary."
