I thank the Minister for her comprehensive reply. To what extent has the definition of the word "care" been examined? For example, does a duty of care constitute someone being in the care of the State? I refer here to people in schools, other State institutions and public or private recreational facilities. To what extent does the concept of duty of care apply in this regard and are those in such schools, institutions or facilities deemed to be in care?
