On behalf of the joint committee, I thank Ms Heeney and her colleague, Mr. Geoghegan, for their obvious commitment to changing Ireland for our children. I feel a lot better for our children knowing there are people like Ms Hilliard who will care for them. It was a pleasure listening to the witnesses. It was also frightening listening to what the reality is like for children in Ireland. I believe this will be another step towards making matters much better.
