Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 11 March 2015
131. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 532 of 3 March 2015, her views on correspondence (details supplied), regarding child protection concerns; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [10748/15]
View answerI reiterate that if the Deputy, or any other person, has a child protection concern regarding a school it should be reported to the Child and Family Agency.
The Deputy's question is based on an individual case. The identities of the relevant persons concerned and of the school authorities involved have not been disclosed to me, and so in the particular circumstances the Deputy will appreciate that I cannot comment any further on the case in question.
I refer again to my reply of 3 March 2015 regarding the current arrangements for dealing with child protection concerns and the improvements that are being made and will continue to be made to the State's national child protection architecture.
