I am renowned for being brief. I will deal with the piece Ms Walsh spoke about. Transposing the EU directives provides us with the powers to provide a framework for dealing with the WRC and IHREC and what I think Dr. Begley described as the mechanisms that are not up to scratch for people engaging in the system even if we were to have the perfect legislation.

On some level, that provides us with a plan. On the socioeconomic piece, we want the State to intervene. My issue with what Mr. Holohan said was the way it was done. I also accept he was bang on the money that when Tusla enters, people sometimes can have an absolute fear. The supports the State engages in need to happen earlier. We spoke in the committee previously about specialist health nurses who would engage with most families. If one finds a situation or circumstance, supports come in and the more terrible things that can happen later can be avoided. I am quite happy with that because we ask how we could formulate this legislation to be the leverage we can use on the State to ensure it vindicates people's rights, whatever about individual companies. That is the plan. As regards the proposed changes to the legislation and dealing with the transposition issue, does that cover most of the bases? Are we still missing anything significant?
