In the Irish Examiner this morning, there were large headlines to the effect that the water safety authority knew that 46 children had been drowned in Ireland last year. The Road Safety Authority can tell us, county by county and road by road, how many people have died in road traffic accidents in a given year. Does the Taoiseach agree that it defies belief that the people charged with responsibility for children do not know how many have died while under their care?
