I want to ask about the Icelandic model with regard to the courts, which come in at a later stage here. Is it a better model? Perhaps it is an unfair question. With regard to what has been said about the waiting times, adults waiting for a case to go through the DPP can be very frustrated. How is it dealt with from a child's point of view if it is going to go on for years? A very young child will be at a different stage of life by then. I do not know whether it is appropriate for the assistant commissioner or Tusla to speak about this.
