Appointment to the Judiciary Nomination Procedure: Statements (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: This question I ask is not in breach of Cabinet confidentiality.

Anne Rabbitte: Yes. Just to explain my question, I am asking about situations where the family network is in another jurisdiction but the grandparents, for example, are living in Ireland - a situation where a care order has been given in another jurisdiction for those grandparents to care for the children, resulting in the children moving here.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Foster Care Services: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I will continue in the same vein with regard to the escalation, where if the schools have an issue that they wish to raise they will not be shut down straight away.
