Ms Margaret Martin:

There are none. There is no supervised access context in Ireland at all. There was a pilot, which preceded the development of Tusla, in which Barnardos and One Family ran three centres. There are a couple of ad hocarrangements around the country. There used to be a priest in Dublin who allowed his community hall to be used. Women would have to bring their kids down to the local Garda station, even on Christmas Day. They have to go somewhere public. We are trying to look at the safety issue and mitigate the risk for them. There needs to be proper infrastructure with policies, buildings and the back-up personnel who are trained and understand this, and are able to provide the service.
