Public Accounts Committee: Report of the Accounts of the Public Services 2015
Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service (19 Jan 2017)

Seán Fleming: Is there information on that? I suggest the Department tries to get that information before passing legislation on the system. How many times do we hear in other parts of the State that somebody is assigned a social worker and the next year it is a different social worker? I am not suggesting it is happening with guardian ad litembut if it is, we want to take preventative action to ensure...

Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service (19 Jan 2017)

Seán Fleming: Dr. Lynch mentions with regard to the public consultation on drafting this legislation that the Department had information from all the stakeholders involved. Did the Department get much feedback from the children themselves - perhaps not a child who was placed at the time but somebody who had been through the system and was then an adult and well able to give feedback? As part of the...

Public Accounts Committee: Report of the Accounts of the Public Services 2015
Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service (19 Jan 2017)

Seán Fleming: This sounds to me like the HSE doing a public consultation about an aspect of the health service and not talking to the patients. It is fine to talk to the consultants, professional and representative bodies, trade unions, judges, the Courts Service, Tusla and everybody involved, but how about talking to the people who have been through it? I suggest that at this stage, before Dr. Lynch...

Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service (19 Jan 2017)

Seán Fleming: The Department should talk to people who have come through the system or people who are still in the system. It has been said here by Mr. McBride that some of these minors are well able to speak for themselves and know precisely their views. There is a deficiency in the public consultation to date which I hope will be corrected before the legislation proceeds because I would like it to be...

Chapter 11 - Guardian Ad Litem Service (19 Jan 2017)

Seán Fleming: I thank Dr. Lynch for that. He might not have thought some of it was directly related but it has followed through everything we have discussed here in public session. I learned something here today about who is eligible for guardian ad litem, or GAL, as Dr. Lynch refers to it, which is a term I hope I do not see in the new legislation, as I have said. Dr. Lynch will send the note to us. It...
