Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

If the Ceann Comhairle did not interrupt me I would have completed my question by now. I gather we will not be informed of the number of children reported to have been at risk who have died. They are the children not taken into care, in some instances because of the failings of health boards or the HSE. I am only asking that the Tánaiste clarify that. If she does not have that information, perhaps she would clarify it during the course of the day.
