The Deputy may be aware that the action reports filed with the Council of Europe on the implementation of the ECtHR judgement in the Louise O'Keeffe encompass the child protection measures that have been put in place and continue to be updated. These measures involve my Department's inspectorate and other agencies including the Department of Children and Youth Affairs and Tusla. The number of people involved in drafting the report is variable and it's not possible to give an exact head count. The last report was delayed owing to the constraints and challenges presented by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
