In recent weeks, we have seen significant and concerning reports and investigations by HIQA and RTÉ with regard to elder residential care. Based on the correspondence of the alliance with its membership around the country, have we any cause to be concerned about the rights of children living in residential care, whether that is in State-run residential care or children and young people living in direct provision or temporary accommodation? Would the alliance be confident that the rights of children are held as being of paramount importance when experiencing residential care?
