Ms Kate Duggan:

I think so. We have a national out-of-hours service, which is our single point of contact in terms of being responsive. We have an out-of-hours service in just over 65% of the country where social workers will go out and attend with gardaí. In other parts of the country, we are in the final discussions and negotiations on what the out-of-hours service should look like. It is a bit more complex where there is a large geographical area, but we have a full out-of-hours-service system, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. We just want to make sure that we expand this in some of the more rural geographical locations to make sure there is a social worker present with gardaí as quickly as possible. Certainly for all of the Dublin regions and urban regions, that is in place.
