I am sorry but I reject that. The Minister could put it onto the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, but they are putting it back on the Minister's Department and they reckon that where there is a child protection issue, it is a matter for Tusla. I do not mind particularly who it comes under as long as it is funded. As far as the Department of Children and Youth Affairs is concerned, if there is no child protection issue involved, it is a matter for the Courts Service and therefore the Department of Justice and Equality.
