James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

I remind the Minister of State that we already have reports of abuse of children in these circumstances with the Brothers of Charity. We had those reports before the meeting of the health committee. This is his area of responsibility. I want him to show the same enthusiasm that he and his Government have for guillotining Bills to institute cuts and apply that enthusiasm and energy towards ensuring that these children are protected through law.
