Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I am not sure if it is in the Seanad. It may have been published with the intention of being introduced in the Seanad, but that may not have happened yet. The Murphy report said that the powers of the HSE are not adequate to deal with child sexual abuse by non-family members and suggested specifically that the 1991 Act needs to be amended to address this issue. When it deals with the Bill that is already published, will the Government take the opportunity to address the giving of extra powers to the HSE with regard to child sexual abuse by non-family members?
