Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
The legislation was to provide the basis for the establishment of an executive office and the regulation of the GAL service. There is not currently a statutory underpinning for it. It is very much on an ad hoc basis. That legislation was prepared and published in January 2017 and made its passage through the Houses. There were issues around the original set of proposals. A number of issues were raised on Committee Stage.
