Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

The Ombudsman for Children is independent in her function and reports to the Oireachtas on matters within her remit as required by the Ombudsman for Children Act 2002. I have sent the question to the Ombudsman for Children and asked that she might correspond directly with the Deputy in this matter.
