I have listened carefully to what the Senator has said. In his earlier contribution he mentioned the possibility of a facility for knocking heads together. I will certainly undertake to facilitate that process, the result of which I am unable to pronounce at this stage. It may well be that through Pobal or other agencies or, indeed, in conjunction with the Child and Family Agency, we may be in a position to examine this situation further. I have carefully noted what the Senator has said about children being placed in a disadvantaged area. I am conscious of what I have told the House in terms of children being disadvantaged so I will, with the consent of the House, revert to the agency and correspond privately with the Senators, if that is acceptable.
