- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Report Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Jillian van Turnhout: I have tabled amendment No. 8 which is quite similar. The points I raise refer to both amendments. On Committee Stage last Tuesday, I outlined to the Minister why I consider this amendment important and I explained general comment No. 14. from the CRC. I will not repeat what I said then. The general comment was by the Committee on the Rights of the Child on the right of the child to have...

Jillian van Turnhout: I move amendment No. 15: In page 15, after line 37, to insert the following:"(g) the report required by section 39,".As this is not one of the key amendments for me in that it probably applies to most legislation that comes before us, I do not propose to spend too long on it. When we discussed this matter on Committee Stage on Tuesday, the Minister outlined that Part 5 deals with standards....

- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Report Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Jillian van Turnhout: I move amendment No. 20: In page 35, line 8, to delete “judgment” and substitute “judgement”.While it may seem as though I am being pedantic by tabling an amendment that seeks to change one letter in the text from "judgment" to "judgement", all too often one hears about the letter of the law rather than its spirit. I am trying to ensure there is absolute clarity...

Jillian van Turnhout: I appreciate and understand the Minister's response but the difficulty for me is that in all the sources, it never has been tested and I do not want it to be tested in this case.

- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Report Stage (5 Dec 2013)
Jillian van Turnhout: I second the amendment. We spoke about this on Committee Stage. The text we are dealing with in sections 58B and 58G was not part of the original Bill. We are asking for the inclusion of four words, the omission of which, I believe, is a drafting oversight. I do not believe there was an intention to do this. We want to align the regulations of the early years services and the duty of the...
- Seanad: Child and Family Agency Bill 2013: Fifth Stage (5 Dec 2013)

For a long time, many of us who have been children's rights advocates imagined this but the Minister has brought about the reality of an agency dedicated to children and families. This will ensure children get the services they deserve and need. I thank the Minister for all the work she has done on the Bill to bring...
