I thank the Minister for the reply. I appreciate that the original children's services committees were to bring together a diverse group of agencies in the local counties to engage in service planning for children. Regarding the local community development committees, is the Minister confident that they have a strong interaction with the children's services committees or with the new the children's and young people's services committees? What links are there between the child care committees and Tusla? Do they have any links with the local community development committees? Is there full engagement within all these groups or is there a lack of engagement?
