- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Seventh Report on Child Protection 2014: Discussion (29 Jan 2015)
Robert Troy: I welcome Dr. Geoffrey Shannon. He has always been very generous with his time in appearing for the committee. Each year he has appeared before the committee there have been recurring recommendations. As the author of this report, does he believe it would be appropriate to introduce an implementation plan, or a timeframe, to ensure he is not just labouring in vain and that the Government...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Seventh Report on Child Protection 2014: Discussion (29 Jan 2015)
Robert Troy: The Chairman of the committee was on the radio saying it would not go ahead. I wish to turn to the area of direct provision, which Dr. Shannon said is a grievous breach of international law. This practice has been condemned by a number of international experts. It is an issue of human dignity. How could it be resolved? The Department has commissioned yet another report but the time for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Seventh Report on Child Protection 2014: Discussion (29 Jan 2015)
Robert Troy: Huge improvements were made in child welfare and protection by previous Governments. The previous Government appointed Dr. Shannon in his role as independent child rapporteur. I am sorry if adverting to deficiencies in the current system upsets certain members of the committee but I will not be silenced if I feel I should raise matters and be an advocate on behalf of vulnerable, less...

I want to ask...

Robert Troy: On legislation in the area of children, the Taoiseach said before that this was the most reforming Government in the area of child welfare. I want to ask about two pieces of legislation, first the National Vetting Bureau (Children and Vulnerable Persons) Act 2012. That was enacted by both Houses of the Oireachtas over 12 or 18 months ago. When will the commencement order be signed?...
