Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Jim Gibson:

Yes. I satisfied myself, as the chief operations officer, that the units that were subject to the equivalent of a "Prime Time" programme in the UK were not ones in which Irish children were placed. We got assurances from St. Andrew's that the Irish children placed in St. Andrew's were not in the units covered in the programme.
