Ms Siobhán Ní Chonaráin:

There were two aspects to the Senator's question. I will answer the first and then pass over to Tomás Ó Maoldomhnaigh, our ardrunaí and national liaison for vetting, child protection, vulnerable adults and that remit for Comhaltas. Regarding the Senator's question on Comhaltas engaging in a cross-sectoral manner, the principles and values we espouse are across every aspect of society and every aspect of the arts. It is a given that we co-operate. We as an organisation whose prime focus has been with young people have always had a proactive leadership role in terms of responsibility to create and nurture within the community of Comhaltas, not just as service providers but also to those who receive our services, a legacy and a lasting impact of respect and dignity where any form of harassment is not supported. In our document on our forthcoming plan and its implementation, you will find that reaches out. On the subject of child protection and vulnerable adults, and the issue of a designated liaison person, I will pass over to Tomás Ó Maoldomhnaigh to deal with that question.
