Committee on Key Issues affecting the Traveller Community
Child Protection and Family Support: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Sandra McDonagh:
Absolutely. A prime example of what I am talking about involved three children who were going to be separated from their family and the parents did not realise, until they brought it to my attention, that they had voluntarily given their agreement that the children would go into care. The children were going to be separated into three different homes but that did not happen. We worked very closely with Tusla and those children. They are now coming into adulthood and were never separated from their family.
