If the Chairman does not mind. I mentioned Gort, but it was an example. The people in Gort are well integrated, well got and so on. It is important that I say this for their protection, just in case they hear anything later and become worried.

Following on from one of Deputy Chambers's questions, when a child is born in a hospital, is that birth recorded regardless of whether his or her parents are documented? Is there a gathering of such figures? They would be illustrative. The child is protected from birth onwards.
