I have one last point. The point on domestic violence speaks to the need for something I have advocated for a long time, that is, the secondment of duty social workers to the Garda district protective services unit.

We can go down the route of discussing Barnahus another time. A direct link to a duty social worker sitting in the Garda office at least once per week will help with these issues. I thank the Chair for her indulgence.
