Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 February 2015
333. Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if he will review an investigation, previously carried out, based on the evidence brought forward by the parents of the child (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6657/15]
View answerPre-School services are regulated by the Child Care (Pre-School Services) (No 2) Regulations 2006. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with these regulations was a matter for the HSE at the time of the complaint, and is now a matter for Tusla.
I understand that this matter was examined by the Early Years Inspectorate and that following this a number of recommendations were made in relation to the provision of childcare services at this facility. This was considered by the Inspectorate to be the appropriate response following their evaluation of the issues raised. My Department wrote previously to the parents involved. Parents who are concerned about a decision of Tusla can appeal that decision. They can also take their complaint to the Ombudsman for Children.
