Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

I thank Deputy Gogarty. My understanding is that work on that is continuing, but I will ask the Minister for Justice to respond to the Deputy directly on the timeframe of the group. There are existing systems and processes in place that are very much upholding best practice around child protection, and those concerned are considering whether repeat vetting is required or whether vetting is not required again where someone has been vetted on one occasion. However, it is important that this be managed with care, obviously with child protection at the core. I will ask the Minister for Justice to try to provide a timeframe for the Deputy on any changes that arise.
