I would consider it an acid test. Given that we are talking about the safety of children, if somebody goes to court for a protection order in respect of their family home or a barring order I would have thought there would be some such mechanism. I realise many of these cases are heard in camera, but how else does Tusla know what is happening? In other words, there might be many children involved in situations where there are protection orders relating to a family member in the family home and Tusla might not know about it.
