I know. I have been present. I did signal my intention earlier. Could we get a copy of the information that has been sent to providers on inspections? That would be really useful for us as members. Mr. McKiernan mentioned that.
With regard to the vetting, perhaps there is another way to look at it. There are authorised signatories, as in Barnardos and Early Childhood Ireland. Having experience with the Girl Guides I wonder whether there is a possibility of their somehow verifying students. We must examine the legislation and how it is being interpreted. I recently wanted to talk in a school and the principal said I needed Garda vetting.
