The Deputy is advised that details of this case have been brought to the attention of the HSE Social Work Department in West Cork under the 2011 Children First: National Guidance for the Welfare and Protection of Children.

The HSE has statutory responsibility for the welfare and protection of children, under the Child Care Act, 1991. Following an initial assessment the HSE will be best placed to assess the needs of this family, including any family support or welfare assistance that may be required.
