I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend the Child Care Act 1991 (as amended) so as to enable any person to apply to the court seeking an order or direction in respect of a child who is not subject to the proceedings brought under the Guardianship of Infants Act 1964, the Child Care Act 1991 or any subsequent legislation dealing with similar proceedings, but who has been brought to the attention of the Health Service Executive, where there are reasonable grounds for believing the child in question is not receiving adequate care and protection.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
