Dr. Lynch mentions with regard to the public consultation on drafting this legislation that the Department had information from all the stakeholders involved. Did the Department get much feedback from the children themselves - perhaps not a child who was placed at the time but somebody who had been through the system and was then an adult and well able to give feedback? As part of the public consultation, what kind of feedback did the Department get from the people the system is designed to serve?
