Fintan Warfield (Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The NCSE has the resources and scope to gather this information. It has some of the information already. Working with the HSE, the CSO, Tusla, schools and the early years sector, I think it should be possible to make an accurate prediction and to have a breadth of information available to parents. I will not divide the House on the amendment. The Minister acknowledges that it is a good idea. We should get the Bill over the line. I invite the Government to bring forward such a provision in its own legislation if it will not accept Sinn Féin's amendment.
