That is not the case.

The Minister for Justice and Equality has indicated to the media that the confidential Garda report into the seizure of two Roma children from their parents shows they acted in good faith. The preparation of the report continues, but the issue is in the media and it is not good enough, because of the horrors involved in this instance, to say that we will do absolutely nothing until such time as Emily Logan reports. I am doubly concerned because this is the fourth week after these dreadful events were first revealed and the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs is telling me that the terms of reference are being drawn up and have yet to be presented to the Ombudsman for Children. This dillydallying is simply unacceptable. This is a very worrying situation for many people and it requires more expeditious address than the Minister's responses are indicating. When will those terms of reference be presented? Will Ms Logan's report have a timeframe so that there will be no further undue delay? Having argued that the Ombudsman for Children should be brought in as the independent person responsible, I have every confidence that the Minister will do the right job and make the right recommendations, but I do not want everything parked in the meantime.
