Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 July 2014
334. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the protocols for dealing with a convicted paedophile who is in public employment in terms of the steps taken to advise staff or management of the person's history particularly when he or she is working in an environment where he or she has access to children. [29805/14]
View answerIf the Deputy is aware or has any information which suggests that there may be a convicted paedophile in public employment with access to children, the facts should be brought to the attention of An Garda Síochána as a matter of urgency.
Alternately, if an employer, or indeed any person, considers that a person may pose a risk to a child or children, this can be reported to the Child and Family Agency as set out in the Children First National Guidance, 2011.
