Mr. Gerry Hone:

The concerns raised in the UCD report have resulted in quite significant changes in terms of how we actually investigate child sexual exploitation and the indicators around it. With the Garda, Operation Cosnaím deals specifically with this matter in terms of a specialist project to respond to this. We have specialist procedures as well for reporting child sexual exploitation to the Garda and we have particular ways of assessing it. It is specialised in how we do it and how we report on it. I think, therefore, that in terms of the services currently provided there is very good co-operation between Tusla and the Garda in actually addressing this concern. I would be confident at the moment that we are operating well in that space.
