Order of Business (11 Jan 2012)

Charlie McConalogue: No. 29 on the Order Paper is the Bill in my name providing for a constitutional amendment on adoption, to include wording already agreed to by all parties. On 29 December the Bill was automatically deemed to have been read a second time as the Government had failed to produce an alternative by that date.

Child Protection (15 Dec 2011)

Charlie McConalogue: The Minister's response is both surprising and unsurprising.

Last December, the then Minister said that he expected to receive this report from...

Child Protection (15 Dec 2011)

Charlie McConalogue: It is a little rich for the Minister to criticise the previous Government for not publishing the report when the Minister is now in the same position.

Child Protection (15 Dec 2011)

Charlie McConalogue: It is now December and the best guideline date the Minister can give is March. This is being put on the long finger and is not being dealt with as quickly as it should be. I would not be surprised to get the same response again in the spring. I urge the Minister to take hold of this issue with the HSE and ensure the report is completed and published as soon as possible.

I have been hearing for months that...
