Mr. Pat Smyth:
Yes. The most recent case is one that occurred between 2004 and 2007. It is a specific area. To provide an example, there were three social workers working across that county at the time who were working in separate teams and not even connected together. The same area today has a headcount of 20 people working together on one team. To be honest with the Chairman, issues like that were the reason Tusla was established in the first place. It was to avoid that.
