That is what I was going to ask. When referring a matter to An Garda Síochána relating to a perpetrator, where is the scope when it comes to measuring risk in also referring other members or board structures to An Garda Síochána? On the one hand, there is an alleged perpetrator but, on the other, there is complete negligence where there is the potentiality that people have allowed children to be subject to abuse. Where is the legal culpability for individuals like that? I am trying to understand at what point it is not just an alleged perpetrator that needs to be investigated and referred by Tusla because the alleged perpetrator may no longer be a current risk. However, if there are still current people and members in positions that continue to be a risk, where does the risk stretch beyond a perpetrator?
