It important to acknowledge and highlight that members of the force are doing enormous and fantastic work, in this and other areas. Gardaí, however, can only do so much.

There are people who play hurling, football, soccer and rugby who are challenged with this but have not yet got to the extremes that Louise and the other parents have shared with us about their families. What can be done regarding early intervention? These are my two questions.
