The Guardianship of Infants Act 1964 sets the maximum fee for a child's view report at €325. Mr. Walsh has made the point that in a lot of cases this amount would not cover the cost of a report, but for many families, it is too high. Am I correct that the delegates are recommending that the State put in place a mechanism to foot the bill? If so, how would it be managed and how would costs be controlled?
