Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

I will take the guardian ad litempoint first. It has been flawed from the start in Ireland and drifted a little. I am delighted that the Government has asked the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to bring forward proposals. It has been consulting us and we have responded. I will be writing further to it. I expect proposals to be brought forward. I was stressing to the committee that I did not think it should involve me. Of course, I think it is ripe for reform. It is a necessary part of the system. Registration, regulation and having an improved system are priorities. I believe the Government accepts this and will publish proposals shortly.
