Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Update on Child and Family Services: Child and Family Agency

12:40 pm

Mr. Fred McBride:

I do not know about the direct provision. I would have to look into it. With regard to children in care, particularly residential care, we will soon have a very sophisticated database that will give us real time information about children who may have absconded or who may be missing. That will come on stream very soon. I do not have information on the direct provision question.
