I asked a direct question. Why would the Minister have gone down that route? I know it is public procurement and so on but in the best interest of the children, why would we not have finished what we know An Garda Síochána started? Why would we not have continued the piece of work that was live? Why are we going down the route of putting it out to tender? I am sorry if I am being pointed on this, but I believe passionately in it. The dots are not being joined. The children are getting older and I need to know they have been looked after. I do not believe one needs to be a social care worker to conduct this piece of work. It is factual.
