Mr. Gordon Jeyes:

With regard to the general issue of children going missing, we have a shared protocol with the Garda and its PULSE information is checked against ours. When I arrived, they did not reconcile but they do now. There are some issues with young people who might have been children when they went missing historically and who are still on the PULSE system. That was when there was a large number of unaccompanied asylum seekers. However, as I reported earlier, when we looked at it two weeks ago the number, including asylum seekers, was one. We know about that child and expect him to turn up.

The director of finance will respond on the financial matters and I will reply to the question about consequences from Deputy Troy.
