594. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality the initiatives that have been taken by An Garda Síochána to implement recommendations of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission in the aftermath of the death of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; if there has been liaison between An Garda Síochána, the Health Service Executive and Tusla on this and similar cases; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I have asked the Garda Commissioner for information on this case and I will write to the Deputy when it comes to hand.

I understand, however, that in accordance with Children First: National Guidance for the Protection and Welfare of Children, protocols and procedures are in place between An Garda Síochána and Tusla (The Child and Family Agency) with respect to liaison and sharing of information where child protection concerns come to the attention of either body.
