Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 May 2018
53. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the actions being taken to investigate serious issues and allegations regarding risk to children awaiting a service and the neglect of those children already in care contained in a protected disclosure by a person (details supplied); and the actions being taken to hold to account the persons responsible in the case of a child. [18815/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe issues referred to by the Deputy have been, and continue to be, the subject of investigation. I do not propose to comment on the specific matters raised at this stage.
I can, however, assure the Deputy that I have attached particular importance to allegations made regarding possible risk to children and I have sought, through a series of actions, to be assured that services provided to children in the area in question are safe. Information has been shared with the relevant statutory bodies in this regard, each of which has a particular remit with regard to issues raised.
