Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2006: Committee Stage
1:00 pm
Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

The purpose of the amendment is to make allowance for cases in which grandparents or other persons, primarily family members, foster a child informally for a period, perhaps of a year, prior to the formal commencement of a fostering arrangement.
