Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

That is absolutely correct. There should be child protection co-ordination because it is everyone's responsibility. We have had very good discussions with the Garda about boundaries because those of superintendents and our managers do not overlap terribly well. This was escalated locally and I need to look at why it was not acted upon because it needs to escalate further. I have an excellent relationship with the Garda and I co-chair regular meetings with the Assistant Commissioner. We are discussing having a process whereby if a superintendent states a problem has happened in a particular area I know about it.
