Members wish to ask more questions, but before we go into round two I will ask a question. Dr. Shannon repeated a couple of phrases a few times, one of which is "a timeline".

I am sure Dr. Shannon was not being cynical, but how confident is he that the Garda and Tusla will ensure his recommendations are implemented? Is he confident that the Garda and Tusla will follow through on the recommendations? I fully agree with Dr. Shannon that someone should oversee whether the recommendations are implemented. Dr. Shannon spoke about coming back in a year's time. What if nothing has happened in a year? There are 12,000 reports on children. Where are they? I am not sure whether I am out of order, and I hope I am not, but is there anything we can do to recommend that Dr. Shannon is the person to oversee implementation of his report?
