The single separation, the restraints and so on. Some members have commented on the time when the Minister will be talking to the staff in Oberstown. This is not checking up on anybody but the issue of single separation has had a great impact on us. I really believe that we could come back and report instead of dragging the Minister back to report on the visit. I do not know how appropriate that would be.
