I apologise to our guests for being late but I had to attend questions to the Minister for Health in the Dáil.

I want to raise several issues in regard to the guardian ad litem issue. Are structures in place to deal with the management of the system in its current operation? Are we satisfied we have enough checks and balances in place in the management of this area? The other issue relates to the number of cases where a person is appointed to work with or help a child in a situation where there is a need for that intervention.
