General Scheme of the Guardianship of Infants (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion
2:00 am
Matt Carthy (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)
I thank Mr. French for that. A practical issue is that the heads of the Bill essentially put the entire onus on Tusla to make the application. I have a sense from the questions that our report might have a comment or two to make on that but let us take it at face value that Tusla will make the application. I presume Mr. French believes the victim's family should at least have an impact on that. Does he have a view on whether the convicted killer, in the vast majority of circumstances we are discussing, should have representation in the hearings involved?
