Question:

177. Deputy Seán Ó Fearghaíl asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the reason a family (details supplied) in County Kildare has not been informed by their social workers or the reason the family's solicitor has not been informed of the reason the family is under possible investigation by her Department; if it is normal to investigate families while at the same time withholding from them the reason they are under investigation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Children and Youth Affairs

I have forwarded the information provided by the Deputy to the Child and Family Agency for consideration. The Agency will reply directly to the Deputy in relation to this case. It would not be appropriate for me to comment in advance of this or on the particular circumstances involved.
