Mr. Fred McBride:
We receive ongoing reports from An Garda Síochána in respect of children who are in refuges or who are part of families in which domestic violence occurs. We intervene as necessary to protect these children. Domestic violence is quite a significant feature of the child protection and child welfare referrals which we receive. It is something we deal with all the time in terms of our interventions with families.
