Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: I feel bad that people such as the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, is taking the criticism on his behalf. The Minister, Deputy Ross, should be here to take it. I would love to tell him to his face about the child he is letting down, the dwarf children, the child with the medical card and about homelessness because he does not want to hear the real facts.

Judicial Appointments Commission Bill 2017: Second Stage (Resumed) (29 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: Why are we not supporting the people who elected us and the people on the ground who are struggling? Families, husbands, wives and children are struggling.

Anne Rabbitte: I thank Dr. Shannon for an outstanding report. This is the third time we have had conversations since the report was launched. Hindsight and 20/20 vision are great things.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs: Children's Mental Health Services: Seanad Public Consultation Committee (28 Jun 2017)

Anne Rabbitte: As I was listening to the questions I came up with a little brainwave. The Garda requested the audit be carried out. I sit on the joint policing committee in Galway. It would be very welcome if An Garda Síochána dedicated a section of its bimonthly report to children. Various offences are documented in the report. Could there be one specifically looking at where the Garda had...
