Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour)

In the context of the all-party motion to which Members have committed themselves regarding the Ryan report and supporting the full implementation of the report's recommendations, I refer to the case of Melissa Mahon, the 14-year old girl and the man who was convicted yesterday of her unlawful killing. Will the Minister for Health and Children provide for an independent investigation because this child was in the care of the HSE?
