Before Mr. Herrick comes in, I will follow up on a point that has been made. If Tusla is not gathering the data, it is not playing a part in ensuring it is accurate. It has the toolkit to ensure it is factual, as opposed to it being anecdotal. Would Dr. Elliott agree that if this agency of the State co-operated, gave us that and played its role, we could at least look at education and the employment of the parents, look after housing and address child poverty?
