It is not a small or casual situation. It is an arranged and agreed provision of services. Rarely is it in regard to one child in any one day or sequences of days. It is all very well until something goes wrong. We have a harrowing history of sad outcomes in regard to so many settings where children have been placed in trust. It is from that duty of care as an Oireachtas Member that I feel compelled to highlight this matter. I will speak with my colleague about possible amendments. I appeal again to the Minister, in terms of his acknowledgement that this is an area not provided for, to see what he can do. I would welcome any further amendments that the Minister, on behalf of his Department, would bring forward on Report Stage.
