I thank all the witnesses for appearing today. I agree when Ms Duggan says her agency is carrying out some of the most important work in the State but that is why it has to be held to the highest possible standards. The case of the two missing children that has occupied discussion the length and breadth of the country has horrified everyone. Rightly or wrongly, it has brought into question the ability of the State to care for our most vulnerable children. I want to put questions on both Daniel and Kyran. In respect of Daniel, the Ombudsman for Children, Dr. Niall Muldoon, said that this devastatingly sad case left the State with serious questions to answers. We know Daniel had contact with Tusla up until 2020. What does Ms Duggan say in response to Dr. Muldoon?
