Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I can only refer to recent statements by the Minister of State, Deputy Andrews, on this matter, which concerns all the various recommendations he is working on arising from the Ryan report. It is important to have effective public information and access thereto. The Children First guidelines set out many of these issues. The Minister of State has indicated his intention to put them on a statutory basis ultimately.
