I want to continue from where Deputy Neville left off. Mr. McBride did not read all of his opening statement but it is important the following part of it is read into the record: "However, it is important to note that the NCCIS is an IT system developed to capture information in respect of children referred to Tusla and was not designed for the purpose of recording retrospective allegations of abuse where there is no known or identified child at risk." We are after building an ICT system. We all know now that people come forward when they are older. Why have we not built that into the ICT system? Are we going to continue to do that on paper or how are we going to continue to record it?
