In this country, according to Ms Justice Laffoy and the other senior counsel we had in, they have to go before the courts. That brings gestation times into it. It was a question I raised a number of weeks ago. I am spokesperson for children in my party. We have 6,300 children in care in Ireland and somebody has to articulate these questions on their behalf. How are we to address that legal side of it? There are guardianships but there are also different court orders in place as to how their care can be administered. Have the witnesses come across that in their country and how is it addressed?
