Barry Andrews (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

I agree that we want to adhere to and surpass the best international practice. There is no reason we should not since we are an advanced industrialised nation that probably knows more about the damage that can be done to children in institutions than any other country. We want to learn not only from the past but also from our neighbours. We also want to surpass the high standards we have set. I accept Senator Fitzgerald's comments and I will raise the matter with the HSE when it begins its review of the adequacy of services.
