Senator Jim Walsh referred to our view of marriage. Initiatives by the health boards, such as the Springboard initiative, are funded by the Department of Health and Children and seek to intervene as early as possible to protect the welfare of children where there is a difficult parenting position and ensure those children get the chance to advance in life. Initiatives can be taken by Government agencies but the State cannot become a parent. We must have standards of parenting at a social level. The State cannot be expected to fund indefinitely the parenting of all children. We would not have the resources to do that no matter how great our prosperity. We must affirm the importance of parents in setting an example and taking responsibility for children.
