Committee on Children and Equality

Engagement with Office of the Ombudsman for Children

2:00 am

Dr. Niall Muldoon:

There are a couple of areas. They will not be a surprise to any of the members. The biggest one is the interagency co-operation or interdepartmental work. It should not be that hard to do or fix. That is a man-made system. That is adults creating a system that works for them, dividing up the budget, dividing up the names and dividing up sections. We can see the way Departments are changed all the time. We can change them around, but we should ask what a child needs from us.
