Alan Shatter (Dublin South, Fine Gael)

In the context of that, is the Tánaiste not aware that this report says there are over 100 children under 12 years of age inappropriately living in residential care due to the negligence and failure of the management within the HSE? That is a serious issue and discussion of the possible constitutional amendments relating to children's rights should not distract from the Government's basic obligation to provide essential children's services. It is a disgrace.
