Ms Linda Creamer:

Again, that is one of the challenges in terms of making sure we are where we want to be regarding policies and procedures. Best practice would be that one would not interview children. There are many reasons for that. Social workers are professionals and are clearly trained to do that. Many members of An Garda Síochána are trained in specialist interviewing so they work together in interviewing a young person. Best practice is that the smaller the number of interviews, the better.
