Joint Committee On Health
Impact of Covid-19 on Children: Discussion
Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I have tonnes of questions. There is so much going on as I am listening to the witnesses speak. First, I thank them for the phenomenal work they are doing. I can safely say I speak on behalf of the members in that regard. Unfortunately we are low on members today due to the fact that Wednesday is a hectic day here in Leinster House. It is a small committee anyway. I want to ask about the process of the organisations. If a child rings the ISPCC or Barnardos or connects with them in some capacity, what happens? What is the process? Obviously there are different processes for the two organisations but I ask the witnesses to take me through the journey towards a positive outcome for that child. I am sure they do not always get positive outcomes but just give me an example.
