I refer the Deputy to my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 223 of 13th February 2007. The position remains that my Department is examining the recommendations contained in the Report of the Law Reform Commission on Vulnerable Adults and the Law, in consultation with other Departments, the Attorney General, the Courts Service, and other interests with a view to their implementation as soon as possible.

The Report of the Law Reform Commission does not deal with wardship in the case of children. Consideration of this matter will form part of the examination that is under way in my Department.
