Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein)

Last week, we got the devastating news that the remains of three-year-old Daniel Aruebose had been found. He was missing for four years and nobody in authority noticed. I think this case has to be a wake-up call for the State in terms of the protection of children and vulnerable people.

GoodPeople Homecare is a company that provided fake Garda vetting clearances to Tusla. Incredibly, this company continues to have a contract with the Minister's Department, providing vulnerability assessments for IPAS applicants. I want the Minister to tell me why this is allowed and I also want him to tell me how much this company, which has breached the law, is being paid by his Department.
