Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Home Affairs and Migration

General Scheme of the International Protection Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Gerry Hone:

If we notice any evidence to suggest that existed at all, we should be confident that the matter is being dealt with between us and the Garda and is being followed up. There is always a danger of child sexual exploitation for children and young people in the care system. We have to be aware of that all of the time. Our systems are more finely tuned now and our staff are trained in noticing that and referring it to the Garda, as and when.
