I have only one other question. It is on Operation Encompass, an operation that exists in the UK in relation to gender-based violence.

It is set out in the national strategy for gender-based violence that there should be an arrangement whereby when members of An Garda Síochána carry out a house visit and are aware there is a child in that house and perhaps domestic violence incidents have taken place but not to the extent that it leads to criminality, An Garda Síochána would have an obligation to engage with the liaison person in the school. This has been talked about for quite some time. The previous Minister for Justice, Deputy McEntee, put it in the strategy. Piloting of this arrangement is mentioned in the implementation plan published yesterday by the Minister for Justice. Does Mr. Harris have a view regarding the implementation, particularly in light of the high figures reported by Women's Aid?
