Mr. Colm Noonan:

Yes, precisely. This kicks in even earlier than the involvement with the Courts Service. It kicks in between us, Tusla and the DPP, when we ask if special measures and special protections are required. The DPP then goes to the court and states what is required to protect a child. Mr. Brophy mentioned earlier that just in the past few months the use of the Barnahus facility with a live video link to the criminal court to allow a child to give evidence, take a break and get the necessary support. This is in the context of a live trial. It is a practical application of exactly what the Senator is talking about.
