Will the Deputy please keep quiet? Where are those children going to go? That is the question I asked the Taoiseach. No one has an answer. These are children who were admitted in an emergency and they are at high risk. Every Deputy knows this. I have a list of CAMHS cases in my office and I have no doubt other Deputies do also. These are children in severe need of assessment, intervention, treatment and admission but it is simply not happening for them. The anxiety, stress and strain on the parents is unbelievable and unacceptable. It is inhumane.
