Just on the age verification, the Tusla representatives were quite critical in respect of being left with the responsibility, essentially, to sort of look at the child or person before them and guess basically whether he or she is a minor or not a minor. They were quite critical that the function, which rests with the Department, as best as I understand it, was not being carried out in a timely way. Does Ms McPhillips accept that criticism?
