I wish to inform the Deputy that I am not in a position to comment on individual cases.

Children residing in foster care are subject to a Care Order. In some cases, a Guardian Ad Litem may be appointed to represent the best interests of the child, and to advocate on their behalf.

I wish to remind the Deputy that where cases have been heard in camera, it is not appropriate for me to make such comments as may lead to the identity of a child being revealed.

I can confirm that I have passed the matter to Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, for their appropriate attention.
