I will ask my remaining questions and Mr. McBride might respond to them together. I acknowledge that Mr. Cormac Quinlan dealt with the aspect that if there was an issue of people leaving it the very last minute that it would be dealt with. Is Mr. McBride confident that this is not an issue?
Mr. McBride dealt with the issue in respect of Five Rivers Fostering. Will he agree it is unacceptable that it is in a position to turn away people which it considers are difficult and, consequently, those people end up in Garda stations?
With regard to the recommendations of the Shannon report, and many of which apply to the Garda Síochána, but of those which relate to Tusla, would Tusla be satisfied to implement them?
