It is probably quite concerning that there is no central register in respect of private and voluntary organisations. I am sure they can provide a very good service, but where there is no regulation then one has the opposite. That would be a concern. Professor Sadlier has answered the question but with the lack of monitoring of voluntary and private bodies, how concerned would he be, in his professional opinion, that there is a sense that there is no regulation or there is no sense of oversight with regard to those who are in an important and responsible position in the context of advice and intervention? There could be a situation where there is no oversight, and where there is no oversight that could lead to serious difficulties as in what happened in south Kerry.
