- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: It is important to acknowledge that when this conversation started there was no framework in place. All credit is due to the Department for putting a unit in place to address what is an evolving issue. I thank the Minister.

Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: I have a final question on this section. It relates to the context and the impact indicators. I see that the number of open cases with Tusla assessed as needing a social worker is up to Quarter 2. I assume that is to June 2017. At that stage, the number of open cases needing a social worker was 25,886 and for the entire year 2016 the number was 25,034. Can the Minister explain that to...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: When I look at that figure it appears there is a huge increase in the number of children awaiting a social care worker. The Minister might be able to correct that for me because it is only up to Quarter 2.

Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: My question is to do with the ECCE. The announcement last year of the extra two years of the ECCE was very welcome but that does not come in until September 2018. What happens to the children who thought they would enrol in January or April this year? Some of the providers are saying they cannot take them on because the scheme has changed but, technically, it will not change until...

Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: My question has to do with mother and baby homes. Statements are ongoing again in the Dáil this morning in respect of this. Does the Minister see the mother and baby homes, the particular scope of works being done, coming to completion this year? Will we have a finalised document at the end of this year?
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Estimates for Public Services 2018
Vote 40 - Department of Children and Youth Affairs (Revised) (7 Mar 2018) Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Minister for her response. I met a gentleman during the week who was part of the mother and baby homes. He got the opportunity to attend counselling. He called to thank me. I do know what the Minister has said is starting to filter down. People are appreciating that. It was the first time he felt he was going to have the chance to speak to somebody - he is nearly 70 - and...

- Motor Insurance: Motion [Private Members] (27 Feb 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I thank the Rural Independent Group for tabling this motion and I welcome the opportunity to contribute on it. I am supportive of amendment No. 2 in the name of my colleague, Deputy Michael McGrath. This is my third time to discuss insurance in the House. The first time, I spoke about business owners. The second time, I spoke about returning emigrants. Tonight, I will focus on Irish...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Childcare Support Bill 2017: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I move amendment No. 7:In page 9, line 11, after “parent” to insert “or guardian”. In light of the number of children who are cared for outside of the home, whether in foster care or other family situations, the insertion of the word "guardian" is prudent.
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Childcare Support Bill 2017: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2018)

- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Childcare Support Bill 2017: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: While I understand it has been ruled out of order on revenue grounds, that is unfortunate. The purpose of my submitting this amendment was to support lone parents and identify the conundrum they would find themselves in between education and training and the support element. A lone parent in training represents 100% of the workforce in that house and for that person to engage and get back to...
- Select Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Childcare Support Bill 2017: Committee Stage (27 Feb 2018)
Anne Rabbitte: I welcome the final comment of the Minister. She said she may periodically review the impact of the affordable child care scheme on lone parents. This, in particular, is what I seek. I will withdraw my amendment but that is not to say that, between now and Report Stage, I will not decide to come forward with another amendment or proposal on lone parents. The Chairman has made a valuable...
