Mr. Mervyn Taylor:

Yes, it is hugely familiar, but we did not plant that question. One time, we discussed this with one of our great board members, the late John O'Driscoll. At the moment, these things get dealt with and lost because the person may feel obliged, because of family dynamics, not to do anything about it. That is one issue. Sometimes we may not chase up on an issue because the person was led by another person. While some gardaí do have the skills, most gardaí do not have the skills or the practice in the area. As far as I am aware, An Garda Síochána does not have a safeguarding policy developed-----
