Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy asked about a non-Garda employment related register, so to speak. We are looking at this from a cross-departmental point of view, with the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Department of Health and Children, to see what is the best way forward. We are considering a register which would provide information on people who had been previously dismissed, suspended, removed or made redundant from posts for harming children or vulnerable adults in the health or education sectors.
