Fiona O'Loughlin (Kildare South, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I refer to the 1,200 children who are currently living in direct provision, some of whom are in my constituency in the Eyre Powell in Newbridge. Deputy Rabbitte met a group from Mosney at the recent Foróige awards and was most impressed with them. Does the Minister believe that children seeking asylum in Ireland are treated equally and fairly by Ireland's child welfare and protection services, particularly in the allocation of social workers and aftercare provision, and is she satisfied with existing arrangements?
