That is good.

My questions are about the Garda vetting process, and whose responsibility it is to make sure that escorts are in place and Garda vetted. Senator Gavan referred to the 450 children with special needs who are currently waiting. How long are they waiting? I accept it was said that some came in late, but if the system is used to year-round applications why are children waiting and what is the biggest barrier to them getting a place on a bus?
