Mr. Fred McBride:

That is correct. In an incident of domestic violence, or whatever it might be, where a child is present and a garda deems it is not safe for the child to remain, as things stand at present the garda may call us and ask whether we know the family and do we have information on the family and whether the child is on our child protection notification system, which is like a child protection register. We can give this type of information over the phone, but as things stand at present we do not have the resources to physically attend the incident.
