Mr. Brian Lee:

I do not want to go into any individual situation specifically and I am just speaking in general terms. Under our regulatory regime, we cannot use previous regulatory convictions to inform decisions on registrations of services. I shall provide an example. We proceeded with a prosecution and the probation Act was read at the end. This means that there was no conviction, which was outside Tusla's control. A successful prosecution would have led to an immediate removal from the register. We put every effort in place within our existing powers to address our concerns.
