Ms Kate Duggan:

I am not going to disclose anything here that is not in the public domain. When we look at Kyran's case, we all know that, up until that May, Kyran was in school. We have seen the pictures of him looking very happy and healthy and smiling on the screen. That is the last picture and image any of us have of Kyran. At that time, the school did not make any referrals of concern to us. In Daniel's case, Daniel was younger. Daniel would have been a child who prior to the Covid-19 lockdown was probably about to engage in or start with a crèche or a local parent and toddler group and all those things that all of us do that impact children at that age. Those services closed through Covid. None of us know yet, because the Garda investigation is ongoing, when Daniel died, and we do not know what the circumstances of that were. Certainly, though, we know that the last of our engagement was prior to the lockdown.
