Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2009 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages
I ask the Minister to recognise the imperative because this is not just something that can be taken or not taken. This is a litmus test of how the new Department of Children and Youth Affairs will go about its work and how serious it is in ensuring the rights of children in State care are guaranteed not only in respect of time in care placements, but that they will also be cared for afterwards and given a good start in adult life.
