We are all aware of the harrowing story of the non-national child found wandering the streets of Dublin, whose only means of conversing with the authorities was the drawing pictures of a sexual nature, which raises serious concerns in regard to the trafficking of children into Ireland. When will the Government bring forward the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill?

I understand the Bill is at Committee Stage. I agree with the Deputy's comments in regard to the poor unfortunate young girl found wandering in O'Connell Street. If it is any consolation at all, the number of children being trafficked into this country has decreased. As I said, the Bill is currently at Committee Stage and will be proceeded with as quickly as possible.
