Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

General Scheme of Childcare (Amendment) Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

It is, but we have a constitutional obligation. That is where we need to focus, otherwise there would always be the concern that it would become a utility for the judges as opposed to the rights of the child. Bringing it under the Department of Children and Youth Affairs sends the proper message.
