However, considerable uncertainty exists in this area as incidents are under-reported. Often, when individuals realise what has happened, the substances may have left...

Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth: General Scheme of the Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Holly Cairns: I was out for Deputy Bacik's contribution so I hope I am not overlapping.

Can Mr. Sunderland provide his perspective on this key...
