Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the Guardianship of Infants (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Garret Kelleher (Fine Gael)

Mr. French mentioned the timeline around the commencement of an investigation post homicide, the length of time that the process of going through the criminal justice system takes and the impact it has. I would be interested to know if a solution could be arrived at without prejudicing the outcome of a criminal investigation. Logic can be brought into it and we can avoid the possibility of children being taken into care and being retraumatised. I thank Mr. French.
