Priority Questions: Mother and Baby Homes Inquiries (1 May 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: We as a party were very supportive when the Minister set up the independent commission of investigation and when she sought the various time extensions for it to report. As she said, one of its findings was the site in Tuam and the number of remains found there. It is a very complex issue. It is important also that the Minister acknowledged that the persons who were part of the mother and...

Priority Questions: Child Protection (1 May 2018)

Priority Questions: Child Protection (1 May 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Minister for her response. I do not know if she got to see the programme that aired on RTÉ. To be honest, it was hard to watch. As spokesperson on children, I found it incredibly difficult to watch. The Oireachtas Joint Committee on Children and Youth Affairs has done much work on children in foster care and care leavers. We have had it as a central part of our topics...

Topical Issue Debate: Foster Care Provision (26 Apr 2018)

Anne Rabbitte: It is right to say we have some very good foster care families in this country. We need every one of them and we need more because they do Trojan work.

Topical Issue Debate: Foster Care Provision (26 Apr 2018)

I want to compliment "RTÉ Investigates" on the work done to highlight this story. The story broke in...
