Recent Issues Relating to An Garda Síochána: Acting Garda Commissioner Dónall Ó Cualáin

9:00 am

Mr. Dónall Ó Cualáin:

I would like to make a point on the car seats in particular. The whole reason for this was to ensure children taken into care would be conveyed in a safe manner to wherever they were being brought. That is our absolute priority. Children do not necessarily have to be brought in a patrol car. We can arrange transport which has the required specification, for example, if more than one child is involved. There are many combinations and permutations to this issue. Our objective will be to ensure any child taken into care is conveyed in a safe manner to wherever he or she needs to go.
