We are going to be waiting a long time for the law to pass. In the meantime, however, there could be adults in Tusla-run centres for unaccompanied minors roaming with other children. In light of what has just taken place, is this not an absolute priority for the Department to ensure there are not adults mixing with unaccompanied children in centres, which have increased quite dramatically over the last three years in terms of the number of unaccompanied minors for whom Tusla has responsibility?
