Children (Amendment) Bill 2015 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Jun 2015)

Clare Daly: I very much welcome the provisions included in this Bill which will bring about an amalgamation of detention schools and formally end the references to St. Patrick's Institution.

Clare Daly: The Minister, obviously, has no role in processing individual cases; she is not responsible for that matter. However, she is responsible for the lack of teeth in the GSOC organisation.
