Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I do not accept this requirement, which is imperative in addressing child care, is covered within the Bill. It is the critical additionality required in order to impose on the HSE and those working under its aegis in the area of child care an obligation that they adhere absolutely to what we are arguing for, namely, the right of children to be heard in the context of their health needs. We are leaving a weakness in a legislation by not taking on board amendment No. 10.
