Yes. Mr. McBride could give the committee a short report on that.
I have two final points. Domestic violence was mentioned by Deputy Connolly. Obviously, many protection orders and barring orders have been issued in the courts as a result of domestic violence and threats of such violence. Do Mr. McBride know how many were issued and how many children would have been in families where there was domestic violence that resulted in protection orders and barring orders being issued? I am trying to find out if there is a link between Tusla and the Courts Service. Can Mr. McBride say to me that in the Ennis District Court region there were X number of protection orders or barring orders that had an impact in respect of Y number of children and what Tusla has done about that? Do Mr. McBride have that type of information?
