I will follow on from that by asking about the regulations and about the powers that Tusla possesses. As we are all aware, the Act was amended in 2016. This is why I want to know when communication took place between the Department and Tusla. As Ms McNally quite rightly stated, we came from a very low base so any amendments were very welcome at that point. I am trying to understand - the members of the general public watching these proceedings are also trying to understand - why we left unregistered services out of the regulation? Tusla has told us that it cannot prosecute unregistered services until they become registered. That was the crux of the matter. Am I misunderstanding the position?
