Child Care (Amendment) Bill 2009: Report and Final Stages
11:00 am
Dominic Hannigan (Labour)
I appreciate the Minister of State's comments. We had hoped that on Report Stage he would consider using the word "placement". A suggestion to that effect seemed to be made on Committee Stage. We would prefer the word "rehabilitation" because "detention" is unduly harsh and used in the Bill 70 times. We are disappointed the Minister of State has failed to accept the amendment, but I will not press it.
