Ms Margaret Martin:

We are not. We met the Children's Rights Alliance, Barnardos and One Family Ireland fairly recently to look for some kind of support on foot of the increased emphasis of the voice of the child, as provided for in the Children and Family Relationships Act. It is a matter of being able to bring that voice centre stage in court proceedings and there being some kind of research and consultation with children on their experience. Something like that might bring some of the answers to the question Senator Freeman asks.
