For a new member like myself, cases such as the Grave case have happened in my lifetime and are very recent, and that has hit it home to me. Not to take away from the other subject which has arisen, which was before my time, for me and for my generation it beggars belief that this took place in our lifetime.

Could the witnesses flesh out in more detail why they would prefer an independent body administering this instead of Tusla? The witnesses mentioned how it is when children reach the age of 18 years that they are most at risk. Could they flesh out the areas of improvement they would like to see to help children who are reaching adulthood during that transition period?
