Mr. Brian Lee:

May I respond to the Deputy's point? We take what we saw on the programme very seriously and we act within our remit. We use our full powers as a regulator and we have done everything we can within our power. When there is a perceived failing in Tusla, is HIQA called in to say there is a failing on its part? The regulator can work only within its power to address breaches of regulations.

I feel strongly that we are acting in the best interests of children - within our powers - and that are committed to continuing to do so.
