I am informed by the Garda Authorities that, at the time of the original question, statistics were not compiled in such a manner as to provide the exact information sought as the information was not recorded in searchable format in Garda records. However, since 6th June 2010 information sought by the Deputy is being recorded.
The table below shows the number of occasions children under the age of twelve years have been brought to their parents/guardians or to the HSE in accordance with Section 53 of the Children Act, 2001 from the June 6th 2010 to September 26th 2010.
